ISP is switched and lost ability to establish RA connection

[churin]

My "regular" RA partner(help recipient) switched ISP and we no longer
able to establish connection for Remote Assistance. Symptom is that I
accept a request for RA and my partner sees IM that indicates I accepted
the request but does not see any further prompt to respond to complete
the connection process.

I do not have proof that the culprit is the new ISP but wonder if it
could be. Suppose it is, then what of the ISP could be the probable
cause(s) of the problem? Could anyone shed light on this matter?

Hi
It can happen from switching ISP. In such case it is Not necessarily the ISP
fault but due to changes in configuration that need to be done on the local
system when switch ISP.
However there is No way to help you unless you describe in technical terms
how the RA is configured on both sides.

Hi, Jack;
Thank you for your response.
I am not sure what "how the RA is configured..." means. My partner is
running WLM, Version 2008(Build 8.5.1302.1018) on XP Pro and I am using
WLM Version 8.1(Build 8.1.0178.00) on Vista Ultimate. My partner send me
"Ask for Remote Assistance" from WLM and I "Accept" it through IM
session, which is how we begin connection process.
Please post if further info is needed.
