Jonathan - continuing ICS probs
Hi Adrian,
That's my guess (unfortunately I don't have any sort of setup here where I could test this
for you also).

Jonathan,
So I presume you mean it is some interaction between NIS and ICS that is the
problem? As it works fine with ICS disabled....
Thanks,
Adrian

Greetings Pink,
This is exactly what's supposed to be happening, this is Messenger and
UPnP automatically
opening and forwarding the proper ports for voice/video to be successful
(at least on your
end).
I would encourage you to uninstall NIS (temporarily) and see if you can
get it to work with
it out of the way (if you can, then reinstall NIS). Because it appears
that ICS is working
correctly.

Copied from my earlier post:
Jonathan,
There were about 4, msmgs entries.... 15599 UDP, 8959 TCP, 21994 TCP and
12788 UDP. I have no idea what those figures mean!

Hi Adrian,
When you went into UPnP port forwardings (see my previous post), were
there any 'msmsgs' or
'msnmsgr' entries?

Jonathan,
Bit of a delay getting back to you but I have tried this and am
still
having
no luck. I cannot start any video or voice conversation at all when
ICS
is
enabled. Nor can I send files. I can however participate if
someone
invites me....
Any other suggestions?
TIA
Adrian

Greetings Adrian,
ICS is UPnP enabled, so it shouldn't be a problem, you might just
need
to
reset the UPnP
ports set in the ICS. To do so, click Start, All Programs,
Accessories,
Communications,
Network Connections. Right click your connection, then click
Properties.
Click the Advanced
Tab, and then click the Settings button. Click each 'msmsgs' or
'msnmsgr'
entry and then
choose 'Delete' to each one. Then close Messenger (right-click the
Messenger icon, choose
Exit), then restart Messenger and try a voice/video conversation
again.

Jonathan,
I run win XP home on my home PC and laptop, with NIS installed
the
home
PC.
I have had a problem where I have been unable to initiate video
or
voice
chats or to send or receive files.. I thought it was a firewall
problem,
however...
I have now found that if I disable ICS (the XP version) it works
fine,
although obviously this means my laptop can't access the
internet.
So
what
do I need to do to let ICS work and still let me initialise
video
calls?
I
gather ICS is uPNP compliant so I can't see where the problem
is..
ATB
Adrian
