Sorry Leo but I don't agree with the router diagnosis 'cos I had the problem before connecting via a router. Also I can web cam fine but can't get audio connection. My Dad & brother also have exactly the same problem (can webcam but not audio) and neither of them use a router. This seems to be a very common problem and despite searching for the past 2 hours, still haven't fouund a solution that works. A messenger bug maybe??AAAAAAH Computers!!

I too have disconeted my router and have the same audio problems, However at random it somtimes can connect, and there is one person I can connect to every time, I sure hope we can come up with a fix for this problem.

FYI: I use to be able to connect everytime all the time! Then all of a sudden this problem started!

I have msn messenger 6.2 and im on a dial up connection I can hear my mic is working offline but when I have an audio conversation it doesnt go through. I turned off QoS scheduler and downloaded TTS but still no results HELP.....

A friend of mine told me about this place. I love it. I will recommend you to all my friends.
See you again next time I surf around.

HAVE LOGITECH WEB CAM MESSENGER CAN RECORD AUDIO&VIDEO OFF LINE.ON LINE FRIENDS CAN SEE ME BUT CAN NOT HEAR ME WITH THE BUILT IN MIC.IF I PLUG IN AUXILLARY MIC THEY CAN HEAR MY AUDIO.HAVE YOU GOT ANY IDEAS OR FIXES? PLEASE HELP.

I’ve tried to make Audio conversation with my sister in Europe for few times. We could not make it. We don't use any routers.

She has Win98 with P2 processor 430 MHz no name sound card and no name microphone and speakers. Her internet cable connection is 64Kb/s. When she tests them all works fine.

I have Windows Server 2000, P2 processor 450 MHz, Creative sound Card PCI, Logitech ClickSmart 310, and Tsound headphones and microphone. If I test them they all work fine. My cable connection is 128Kb/s

Video meeting is fine and Camera works properly. They can see me but they can't hear me.

When I talk to my friend in the same city my voice is broken. I can hear him very well.

Can somebody tell me what is problem here?

Dear Leo:
You wrote,"So for now, those of us behind NAT routers are safe, but at the cost of not being able to use the audio and video features of Messenger." I used MSN video and audio with Belkin Router until I updated MSN to 6.2 and have the above written problem now. Who know how to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Peter
