okay gentlemen : I bypassed my router and went directly
through my dsl modem and BINGO !! sound and video !!..had
a 30 min conversation with my friend so that means it is
certain ports that need to be opened on my router to
allow messenger to work properly..now I just have to find
out which ones.Thanks for all the help.......Drew

The USB mic is not going to work very well either, go
get a $15.00 mic at
Office Depot or such and plug it into the sound card on
the back of the
computer, and you should be in business.

mic

If you are trying to use the mic in the camera, then
that is the problem.
Get a normal mic and plug it into the Sound Card
in
the back of the
computer. Then it will work. Logitech is very good
on
video, but do not
understand how sound in the applications in Windows
work.

also the camera and microphone is a Logitech pro
4000
and
it checks out fine...even used a different
microphone
and
still nothing...talked to Linksys and they helped
put
my
computer temporarily outside the firewall and still
nothing....totally disabled Norton security at the
same
time and still nothing...

Sir: I very much appreciate your help but this also
has
not helped...all systems seem to check out....any
other
thoughts ??

Check you sound system setup, click the volume
icon
in
your system tray and
then select Options/Properties, make sure the Mic
is
Not
checked in the
Playback mode, but is checked in the record mode.

The question of the day would be : I have 2
computers
sitting side by side both with the same op
system
(xp
home)all updates installed both with Norton
security
2004
( all updated) both connected to a Linksys
router
(befw11s4) and latest firmware installed and
both
configured exactly the same however I can talk
on
windows
messenger 4.7 on one yet not the other??? I have
run
thru
the audio setup wizard ( on both computers )
multiple
times and it says it is working...also the same
sign
in
name and password so of course I only can be on
one or
the other....If some one has any idea what is
wrong or
what I am missing I would be forever grateful
as
I am
going more gray by the minute trying to figure
this
out..As always cheers to all and
Thanks..........Drew
