For the last couple of weeks whenever I am talking to someone, they can see what I am saying but I cannot see what they are saying unless I hit the refresh button and sometimes that does not even work. I spoke to a person that does a lot of networking for computers and he said that the fact that we added a router to connect 2 computers together so that we both could use the internet is probably blocking certain things from coming in from outside. Is this possible? This is getting really annoying.

There is some info on there.
Yahoo! Messenger IMs sometimes go into peer2peer mode, on port 5101 it may therefore be necessary to setup your router for this activity.
no one can do it for you.
What manufacturer is your router?
You will need to set up port forwarding from 5101 port to the IP assigned to your PC.
I also have this problem on occaisions…..sometimes in individual chat boxes sometimes in conferences….I have no firewalls and just a normal 5.5 yahoo……
its very frustrating to not see what your friends are saying or for them to not see what IM saying ! …..most of the time everything is ok..but Id love to know what to do if this happens…thanks if anyone can enlighten me !
OK I dont know all this technial blah blah blah 😉 like Freddy does, But what I do know is that sometimes replies dont get recieved. It happened between Jeff and Myself just the other day. Ahhh ever-loving Yahoo! I just disconnected and reconnected and we were able to IM normally.
Ok thanks ! I think thats probably what weve done so far with this problem !!Just have to hope one of you realises whats happening ! ah yahoo loves to tease us ! 😉
what I have done if suspecting this to be happening is post….can you see my replies? or such as a status cos the other person can usually still see the status !! I once held quite a long status convo !!
