thx striker i went to the linksys page and found a
troubleshooting page that gave a short term solution to
the voice problem with msn messenger all i did was just
go to 'remove windows component'and check the uPNP and i
was able to do voice so i closed back all my ports during
the convo i was still voicing we were rejoicing but not
for long cos next morning when i woke up & click on voice
again i was back to sq. 1 the uPNP button's still checked
what i can't understand is why do i seem to be able to
just voice once & next round it just won't work i even
tried opening all the ports + uPNP checked & it still
won't work linksys did say there's a bug with uPNP &
NAT & they r looking for a solution there solution
doesn't work at all with windows messenger at all just
single shot luck with msn messenger that's all .. more
suggestions striker ?

Go to the Linksys Web site and download the user guide
for Linksys Gateway
WCG 200. Since I have always used a regular router and
not a gateway I do
not know what UPNP or direct port forwarding options the
gateway has.
