WEbcam no connect.pleasehelp

[Guest]

Ohkay I have msn 6.2 but my webcam wont connect. It works fine in its own
program but not on msn. I think it has something to do with my NATS?
does anybody know how I can change these setting or fix this or have any ideas
please help
thanks

have you gone through the audio/video tuning wizard?

Greetings Angee,

Actually a NAT shouldn't affect the webcam functionality within MSN Messenger 6.x, because
the webcam can make use of a relay server which will relay your webcam. If you go to the
Tools menu, then Web Camera Settings, does your camera properly appear and work there?

Have experienced a simular problem but with windows
messenger, have just upgraded to the latest version and
that solved it ok. If there is a more recent version than
6.2 suggest you upgrade as that will have the protocols
in it.

If this is going through a rounter you will need to enable
UPNP on both the router and windows.
Good luck!

Hi,

Actually, as I described, UPnP is not required for the Webcam as it can make use of a relay
server.
