Voice/Video + Router Issues
Thanks a lot for your help!
-----Original Message----- Greetings Matt, To be honest, I'm not exactly sure (the NetworkEverywhere/Linksys relationship is weird) -- make sure you have the latest firmware (you'll have it on their site under Support), then go into the router configuration (probably http://192.168.1.1), Password tab and see if you have UPnP toggle. If you do, switch it on, then reboot your PC. You should then have access to voice/video/remote assistance etc. through your router. Note that for UPnP file transfer, you'll need to use MSN Messenger 5: http://messenger.msn.com/download/do....asp?client=1. With UPnP, no configuration is necessary, but if you're curious, voice/video uses ports 5004-65535 UDP, file transfer 6891-6900 TCP, Whiteboard/Application Sharing 1503, and Remote Assistance 3389. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Matt" wrote in message ... I have just installed a router to share my internet connection with a playstation2. Everything works fine, the only problem is when I try to have a voice/video conversation using MSN Messenger. I have read some posts and I understand that my router must support UPnP. My router model is NR041 from Networkseverywhere (www.networkeverywhere.com) I have seen some options for port forwarding or something like that, but I'm not very familiar with this configurations. I would like to know if my router does definetely support UPnP in order to use all MSN Messenger features. If it does, which are the ports used by MSN Messenger? Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Matt . |
