Audio in Messenger 6.1
Having seen all the other problems with that people are having with
audio in 6.1 I am not that confident, but here goes: Environment: Windows XP Pro SP1 MSN Messenger 6.1 Symantec Personal Firewall 2003 Windows 2000 SP4 MSN Messenger 6.1 Sitecom DC-202 Router/FW (UPnP supported and enabled) DirectX 9.0a Description: Audio only works when the invitation is made from the 2000 machine to the XP machine. The other way I get the message 'The connection could not be completed'. The problem seems to occur at the Sitecom UPnP router (in front of the 2000 machine). When the invitation is sent from the XP machine to the 2000 machine I can only get it to work if the 2000 machine is placed unprotected into a 'DMZ'. When I do this I can see UDP connections coming into Messenger on random high UDP ports (using TCPView) and everything works. I also see that Messenger creates some rules for UDP traffic on the router. Can anyone help here? I don't really want to blanket allow incoming UDP connections to the router for a range of 5004-65535 (a suggested non-UPnP NAT workaround by Microsoft), or worse permanently place the 2000 machine in a 'DMZ'. I thought that with a UPnP router on one machine and the other machine directly connected there were supposed to be no problems using MSN Messenger AV. Is there something I am missing here, is this scenario supported? Is my UPnP router a waste of money? Should I switch to Yahoo Messenger, which works fine! ? Thanks in advance for helping a guy try and stay in touch with his Mum on the other side of the world. |

I sure hope you at least get a small answer on this, at least that it is
being addressed..I've not heard anything about that either. "EpochClock" wrote in message m...

msn 6.1 has advance feature in ports configuration automatically so you don't have to open 5004-65535 UDP in router . The only thing I think is if you're also using icf in xp which blocks traffic , you need to disable ICF in xp when you're already behind h
ardware firewall(router). |

Audio in Messenger 6.1
I am having the smae problem. Is IM audio from Xp to 2000 not possible without reconfiguring everything? When I attempt an audio conversation it automatically disconnects and I get the message "The network or computer you are trying to reach is experiencing a problem. Please try again later."
