Webcam video + audio

[billurie]

My buddy and I have debugged the method of starting a
two-way video conversation using MSN Messenger 6.2,
in WEBCAM mode.

We've trie dall the obvious ways to Add Audio to it, and
all it does is shut off audio connection as soon as the
invitation is accepted.

Can somebody please furnish detailed steps for adding audio
to a running 2-way video webcam conversation?

Thank you.

1. The modem/router must be UPnP compatible. Zone Alarm in medium or shutdown.

2. On the Network Connections, the Properties tab should show a check mark
only on Client for Microsoft Network, and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). No
check on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, nor on QoS Packet
Scheduler.

3. The Windows Firewall should be ON (recommended) and no check in Don?t
allow exceptions . The Exceptions tab will later show the MSN Messenger 6.2
and UPnP Framework as being active.

4. In the Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Add Remove Windows
Components, scroll to Networking Services and remove all checks, except for
Internet Gateway Device Discovery, and for UPnP User Interface. Click Ok,
Next and the Windows Wizard Component will run. Click Finish; now the UPnP
will automatically open all required ports.

5. Sign in on Messenger and run Audio/Video Tuning Wizard. In the Tools >
Options > Connection tab, you should read ?You are connected to the Internet
through a UPnP symmetric NAT. (Administrator). If you now check the Windows
Firewall Exceptions list, the MSN Messenger 6.2 and UPnP Framework have a
check mark and the required ports are open.

6. Both Windows XP users sides should have similar setups with working
webcam and microphone.

Hope this will help, it has with many people.
