Most of the reported problems have all been with MSN messenger. I would suggest reading the accompanying article, and checking the Yahoo support avenues.

I am having the same problme too.
info:
windows 2000 pro
linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-port Switcher v3
firmware 1.05.00
MSN 6.2.0133
Zone Alarm Pro 5.0.590.015
Comcast Cable with motorola cable modem

I have enabled the upnp option under the administration > Management > UPnP option

DMZ is disabled

And the Advanced Connection Infomation in MSN messenger says I am connected to the internet through a UPnP IP restricted NAT.

There are 3 options in the Zone Alarm advance settings for Internet Connection Sharing:

1. This computer is not on an ICS/NAT network
2. This computer is a client of an ICS/NAT gateway funning ZApro
3. This computer is an ICS/NAT gateway

I have chosen 2 and the gateway address is 192.168.1.1

Even after all that, I still can't establish audio connection using MSN but the video connection works fine.

Someone plz help me!!

I am puzzled by those with NAT routers not being able to use MSN Messenger? I have the BT 1200 home sytem with 2 pc's able to use internet simultaneouly and use MSN Messenger for audio and video.

hello people,

I have configured the router cyclades pr-1000, and don´t have the option upnp, and i want use msn audio and video.

do you have some solution for me ?

thank you

My internet and system: xp pro, charter cable, motorola 4100, d-link di514
problem: for msn 6.2, everything OK except Audio (can hear others, but they don't hear me although my audio meter bar is jumping)
Solution: go to DI514 configuration, "advance" "application",enable 6901 port for msn audio, and confirm the router is UPnP enabled (factory default). and restart the router.

Result: I can trigger others for msn audio and it works. Additionally, my friend without this setup(same router, but DSL service), can't trigger me for Audio before she follows my procedure.

I am experiencing the same problem and came to the conculsion it's the firewall. I searched the internet yesterday and I have downloaded 'realtunnel' from www.realtunnel.com - I haven't as yet been able to try it out. Can you please tell me, is this an okay programme and will it work ?

I think I read on http://www.mess.be this problem was resolved in MSN Mesenger 6.2? Is that true?

Download for free RealTunnel this will allow you to have conversations on line with instant messenger and msn messenger - goto
