No audio

[AntRantX]

I have a DLINK 504 router with latest firmware,
Using Win XP and Mesenger 6.2, I can webcam but nobody can hear me.

The green audio bar works on my side but nobody can hear me.

I have forwarded the following ports to my PC (as below) but still no audio!

Without UPnP
For MSN messenger to work, you need to forward the following ports to your PC:

TCP 6901 - To enable voice communications;
TCP 1863 - To enable messaging;
TCP 6891-6900 - To enable file transfers.
Additionally, you need to have H.323, PPTP and IPSec enabled under
NAT ALGs and all the rest (ICQ and SIP) disabled.
UPnP MUST be turned off!

Help!

Greetings,

Put simply, this is entirely wrong.

Port 6901 TCP has not been used for Messenger voice capabilities since MSN Messenger 3.x.
You do not need to forward any ports (and doing so will not help in anyway), UPnP will take
care of this.

Messenger utilizes Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in order to establish audio conversations
through NATs (routers). Turning UPnP off will stop Messenger's ability to make direct
connections (aka audio). As well, Messenger does not make use of H.323 (nor does it have
anything to do with PPTP or IPSec).

Turn on UPnP (in the router configuration), then click Start, All Programs, Accessories,
Communications, Network Connections. Right click your network/internet connection, then
click Properties. Uncheck the QoS Packet Scheduler (this can also cause some problems),
reboot and then try again.
