Hi there
Newbie to Messenger here, but I should be up to date. I've downloade
the latest Messenger from MSN. Using Charter Broadband. I d
audio/video setup with no problem. There's the audio, there's th
video. Great. I try to open a video conference to someone, and I ge
nothing but the happy icon guy with the pip over his shoulder. I'
expecting I should at least see my output somewhere, bu
nothing
I'm running xp with latest updates. Linksys 54gwrt with lates
firmware. Universal Plug n Play enabled on Router, as I've read.
Zone Alarm is off. My connections page in Messenger says "You ar
connected to the internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT." I hav
the "Internet Gateway" available in Network Connections. I have not
opened any ports on the router, and I'm not sure how to do that if I needed to
Is that safe, anyways, to open ports
I'm at a loss. I can't imagine people in the freakin' future wil
ever get anything done, because they'll spend 2 weeks trying to figur
out why they can't webcam someone else for god's sake
Anybody give me some insight? Typing chat works fine, but who want
to do that? Went out and bought the camera just so I could make thi
work
Thanks
