video conferencing
Greetings,
Firstly, make sure both you and your contact have gone through the Audio (and Video) Tuning Wizard in Messenger. To do so, open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Audio Tuning Wizard, then go through the wizard to select and test your audio/video devices. Then, both you and your contact should verify that the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall isn't on -- click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections then click Network Connections. Right click your network/internet connection, then click Properties. Click the Advanced Tab, and verify that the Internet Connection Firewall is unchecked. As well, if your contact is using some type of third-party firewall (ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security, etc.) have them make sure that Messenger is set to "Permit All", "Allow All" or "Medium" (ZoneAlarm). If that's not the case, and if you or your contact are using a router (with UPnP support), you may need to remove the current port forwardings. To do so, click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the "Internet Gateway" (should be under the Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties. Choose 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. Also, you and your contact might try turning off the QoS Packet Scheduler. To do so, click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections then click Network Connections. Right click your network/internet connection, then click Properties. Uncheck the QoS Packet Scheduler, then reboot and try again. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "ilima" wrote in message ... hi, i am new to video conferencing, i just installed the cam and the mic. my kids can see me and i can hear them but they cannot hear me. the mic seems to be installed and works within my computer. i am also interested in video conferencing with both my kids all 3 of us live in different parts of the country. what do i buy and install to make this work? |
