I lost count of how long I have waited for SP2, because I was told that it
would address my voice problems, and many others too, I am not alone.
OK. SP2 now installed. Trying once again. Here is the deal, when trying to
talk with a friend, I can hear him, my meter moves for me when I talk, but he
cannot hear me (both in California about 90 miles apart). Trying with another
friend, she accepts, I see "connecting to so & so", and it never completes the
connection, saying the remote computer is experiencing problems after it
eventually aborts. (She cross country).
I am behind a Netgear router. My 1st friend who cannot hear me & I hear him,
is also behind a Netgear router. My second friend who we cannot even connect
voice, I do not think is behind a router, but I could be mistaken.
Also I've tried Windows Messenger with the 1st friend too, (he still using
MSN) and get the "connecting to so & so", but it never does connect voice and
eventually aborts.
Now - if anyone tells me, especially now with SP2 here, that I have to do
this & that & this & enable this port or that port, I am going to puke my
guts. How many millions of people are behind routers now in a little home
network? With more each day joining the club. I just read over 50% of
Americans are now on broadband, so routers are becoming very common in
households.
I have absolutely no voice or video problems with Yahoo Messenger. 6I never
have had any. I am guessing 6 months or so ago I was told in one of these NGs
by what I remember as some official looking name for a Microsoft guy, that SP2
would handle this stuff differently & all would be fine. Well I now have SP2
and the same ol' sh*t..
My friends I am talking about - we're all Yahoo Messenger people now. I do
not understand what the problem is with Microsoft on this one thing here.
Firewall shmirewall,, I honestly do not think that is it. But even if it is,
I should not have to do anything to fix it. How can a company like Yahoo
out-do Bill Gates like this?
Yea my main chat client is now Yahoo Messenger, but I still would like to get
this resolved. We use MSN Messenger for files transfers, because in this it
is superior to Yahoo Messenger for this. (Yahoo has size limitations, for one
thing).

new blood. It's nice to know the people you chat with in a chatroom
environment. http://www.steel-knights.com . (you can run Yahoo Messenger &
Windows/MSN Messenger at the same time with no conflicts).
