Windows Messenger and Webcam

I am having problems trying to get my webcam to work with Windows Messenger
5.1. Every time I tried to send an invitation for video, it looks like is
trying to connect to another computer, but then it says that it can't
connect.

I did tried to connect with my desktop computer to my laptop in my home
network, and no problems, I saw the video from my webcam.

Any help will be gladly appreciated!

In some ways you and I have the same problem. I can connect my camera, but
my sister who lives 2000 miles away cannot see the results. I think she
needs to do something there. She has no camera. Do you know what she needs
to do? We both have DSL. I see no properties or options that would even
allow me to approve of accepting a webcam signal from someone else.
