Hi
I have just read an letter on the internet explaining that if you have a router between your computers that there would be problem using the audio on msn messenger.
I use MSN messenger 6.2 and would like to know if there is ANY possible way, how I can get my audio to work while still being connected through my router?
Thank you very much,
Dewald
Posted by: Dewald Meiring at June 16, 2004 1:41 AMI have a laptop from Gateway and I have NO AUDIO when connecting with MSN Messenger 6.2:
I have tried absolutely every thing with no successs!
Updated audio drivers, checked ports, disabled firewalls etc, and emailed Gateway, Microsoft.
Nobody is able to resolve the problem.
I find it utterly unacceptable that a software title like MSN Messenger would have such a widespread problem for so long with so many users and still no "fix" for it.
The video is fine; in fact it is better than Yahoo, Logitec, Sight-Speed, Clique Video etc.
The only difference is that the audio works on ALL the above mentioned programs!!!!!!!!!!! but not with MSN...
Totally shamefull on the part of Microsoft.
I give up.
To everybody:
Download real tunnel and your problems will be fixed concerning your audio issues!!!!!!
Thank you to Magaret
i have a netgear DG834G, upnp is enabled, its also enabled in xp pro. msn says im connected "via a cascaded port restricted upnp NAT"
when i try to connect via audio i can see it open 2 upnp ports in the netgear router config, but it still doesnt work, as soon as they accept, it says it was canceled (and they are only on a dialup modem with no firewalls). i also have no other firewall in use! and am using msn 6.1

Hope it helps!
In the Messenger bug list, MS recommends to disable the Query of Service Packet Scheduler in the properties of your Network Connection. It helped me.
