Im using MSN Msger 6.1, Win XP Service Pack 1 and DSL shared through SMC router(disabled firewall) and my galfriend is using MSN Msger 6.0, Win 98, dial up.
I tried to delete the rtcdll.dll file but everytime i do it it’ll get replaced automatically. Even if i try to rename it, windows would automatically replace another one. So, till now, i cant remove it. Even though is the latest from MSN Msger 6.1 but i was thinking of using MSN Msger 5.0. My problem in msger is that everytime i or my gf send and audio chat invite and when either one of us accpet it, the audio chat would connect but get dc right away. I’ve read in this thread that i should disable the QoS and i did so and it made things worst cause with that, i could even connect with her webcam(usually can). I was also wondering whether i should set my connection in msger to connect through a proxy and enter port 80? I tried changing the registry file too but nothing worked.
I was thinking that if she upgrades to MSN Msger 6.1, would things work out? What else do i need to do? Or what else does she need to do. Please help! Please please please….
Thank you!
To Bistz: Try Netmeeting, using this I find that normally audio and video work OK. In XP, you can open Netmeeting as follows: Start/Run then type conf.exe in the box and then click on OK. You will then be required to complete a few pages of personal details and information about your hardware. I don’t know whether this is available in Windows 98. One further point, you need to use IP addresses to call. Look through the previous posts in this forum and the Dell forum I referred to in an earlier post for further details.

You must both have windows XP for MSN Messenger to work both ways on video and audio. I had a smilar situation.
regards
GoffHardware: One user with Dell Dimension 4600, using integrated 10/100 ethernet. Other user with custom built (Asus P4C800-E motherboard) with integrated Intel 10/100/1000 ethernet and with an add-on wireless (Linksys) PCI card. Both have cable modem access to the internet. [Note: Firewalls are not the issue here. There are no software firewalls running, UPnP is worjing well when connected through routers, and the same issues appear even when connected directly to the cable modems]
Issue: If either user connects using the integrated ethernet on the motherboard, that user can receive audio and video but not send. The problem is resolved when the user switches to a wireless connection, to dial up or to a USB ethernet adaptor.
Dell advised the Dell user that the Dimension 4600 is not “set up” for video conferencing unless an add-on ethernet card is used. The other user’s vendor (of the Asus-based system) has no information to offer.
Has anyone ever heard of this problem or any limitations regarding the use of onboard ethernet for videoconferencing?
Additional Notes: We have the same issue regardless of using MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Netmeeting and AOLIM. Whoever uses onboard ethernet cannot send but can receive.
If this is a consistent issue with onboard ethernet, it could explain a number of issues I see below.
TomHyde,
I have read all of the forum notes for MSN Messenger on the audio problem, and was wondering if you could help me. I have been trying for abt a week now. Finally, it came to the point where I had messed my computer up and had to have someone get it up in running order again. I have a Dell Dimension 4400, with Windows XP Home. Would you pls help me, I am not a very computer literate person. Thanks in advance.
If you have a Dell machine or a machine with an Intel network card I have the answer! Also fixes for people with neither of these but that are using an Internet router at home.

Disabling QoS in the LAN properties did the trick for me!!!
Audio works great! (I’m running MSN 6.0 and the “bad” dll file is still in my system folder)
hey well im not a genius in computers so please help!! so where can you find tha lan settings I have windows 98 please help!!
To Marievesaumur: I Don’t use Windows 98, but looking elsewhere, in the Dell Community Forums, I found this sequence clicks:
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network Connections/, then I think you must click on Local Area Connections/Properties
With a bit iof luck you are now on the correct page, if not try clicking on the individual items in the top task bar.
Best of luck.

i tried your method tomhyde but in the control panel I dont hve Network connections…. so… does any one have any solution for someone with a router windows 98 ans messenger 6.1 ??? I can’t have voice conversations and I am pretty sure its because of the router because before I bought it I was connected directly with just one computer and the voice worked fine so… please help!!!
Here are a few further suggestions. When you try to talk to another computer do you have an icon at the bottom of the screen which looks like two overlapping monitors? If yo do, right click on it, then click on Status, then Properties and this should reveal the page with QoS Packet Scheduler on it. Click on the adjacent arrow to disable the QoS thingy. (this may only work in Windows XP).
Also, find the full details of your version of MSN Messenger. Open it, click on Help, then About MSN Messenger, and then you will see the full details of your version.
You must also give us some more information about your system. What kind of router do you have? Does it have a firewall installed and enabled?T.Hyde

No it doseant work with win.98 so.. here are some of my infos:
My router is a Blitzz model:BWK802
Windows Version: Windows 98, 4.10.2222
Messenger Version: 6.1.0207
I don’t have a dell or anything like that and I don’t really know about my computer.
Yes,there is a firewall on my router and it is enabled it is not Zone alarm it’s just a firewall protection that came with my router when I go to configure it.
Anyways here are my infos so.. if you find a solution just shout away!
thanks!
MarieYou don’t say whether you have found the QoS packet Scheduler, (see my previous post). Try disabling the firewall temporarily, for the duration of your MSN Messenger session, and then try to make your contact. Since I am away for the weekend, I will try to help you next week using MSN Messenger, I will send you an E-mail to put me on your contacts list. Please tell me where in the world you are – different time zones can cause problems if you are on-line when I am getting my beauty sleep and vice-versa.

MarieI’m having troubles with audio and MSN messenger 6.1 and in particular with trying to delete the RTCDLL.DLL file. I’ve followed the instructions of T.Hyde, but the 5.2.4949.1001 keeps coming back. I’ve downloaded the latest MSN Messenger 6.1 (6.1.0.211) and the ‘old’ file won’t go away.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way I’m running WindowsXP Professional, no firewall, Linksys router BEFW11S4, broadband cable.
