hi … I have 2 computers which I use at home , both have windows xp sp2 and both are using the same router ( Dlink) on cable connection , We are only using windows firewall for both … My problem is when ever we try to connect both computers into the same yahoo chat room , Whom ever enter last of the 2 computers can’t use the Voice option ( Mic/speakers ) Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening ? And whether there is a fix for it ? Thanks :crying:
Hi there Terry,
Interesting – all I can say is that I’ve come across this a number of times, where 2 PCs on the same network can both use voice independently, until/unless they try actually talking to each other.I find that that will sometimes work, but probably not for very long. I’ve tried it on my present setup, and basically given up as a waste of time.
As far as any solution or workaround, I don’t know of any. Perhaps someone else might. ?Hey there Eagle_Kiwi … I can’t figure out why it doesn’t work but it doesn’t , strange , Though I forgot to mention which versions , At the moment both are using 6.0.0.1922 and there no way towards any version up ( 7 )
I’m not certain, but I don’t think this is only a “YM” problem, as I’ve had the same effect on another IM program too (PalTalk) in the past.
I feel it’s something to do with the very nature of networking.Last time I tried on YM was using XP-SP2 and YM 7.0, and while both sides could usually START a voice chat together it was so unstable as to be not worth trying seriously.
I wonder if any members CAN successfully use any form of YM – or any other IM – voice from 1 home PC to another on the same network ?
