Hi Jonathan ,
I had posted a couple days ago about a router and UPnP .
UPnP was not enabled so I added it , but still have the
same problem .
Apparently microsoft wants to phase out Netmeeting and
replace all it's workings with messenger so I wanted to
focus on getting messenger working properly . Currently I
have more success with Netmeeting .
For instance I'm trying to communicate with another
party running XP Pro like myself . In NM we can connect
and chat , transfer files , they can hear and see me but
I cannot hear or see them . I connect to them using their
IP address .
Now , In Messenger we can chat but if we try a video or
voice conversation , sometimes they can hear me but not
see me . I cannot hear or see them . When it does not
work at all , at the bottom of the messenger window it
will say "Connecting to (the other party's) computer and
then we get the following error message :
"The network or computer you are trying to reach is
experiencing a problem. Please try again later."
In Network connections I right clicked on the 3com Icon
(I assume that is my local network connection) but I
disabled the QoS Packet Scheduler , so would this matter
as far as my internet connection ? On their machine they
can see the Internet Gateway icon so I had them disable
the QoS there .
I have Norton Internet Security 2003 , I went in a
configured all the messenger icons to "Permit All" .
If I send them a file in messenger , it works . If they
try to send one to me , I accept it but it waits and then
says the transfer was unsuccessful . Now in NM we can
transfer files back an forth and that was before doing
any reconfiguration of either system (whether Norton ,
QoS etc.) . So for whatever reason it seems that (on
their side) the data transmission is not working
properly . They then hooked up with someone on Yahoo IM
and they both could see and hear each other . Therefore
I'm assuming it is a configuration problem with messenger
and NM for that matter .
There seems to be many , many people in this forum with
very similar issues . Is there a problem with the
Microsoft Messenger Server ? What say you (as my friend
Bill O'Reilly says) ?
Thanks ,
Rich
