This is pretty cool. My first time here and of course I gotta problem. I am running MSN Msgr 6.2 on an XP machine. I have DSL and live in England though am American and have friends stateside. I seem to have now developed a problem with performance using voice or video conf. with someone who has cable modem. There does not seem to be a problem with my DSL line per the ISP and I am able to download files at a fine clip (for DSL anyway). Is there some kind of test site that I might be able to try someone/something? I have just two people that I normally talk with via msgr and they both live in MO. Thanks!
For maximum performance try not downloading anything while having an audio or webcam conversation. Same goes for the other person.
It could also be a firewall issue but i’ll let someone else verify if this is true or not.
Well if you want to test your intenet connection speed yo con try both of this sites, http://www.bandwidthplace.com or http://www.pcpitstop.com . Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies. When I am trying to do voice, neither one of us are downloading anything. Also I did a speed test and my 512k DSL line is within reason. The problem JUST appears with Messenger.
Yes I agree with you. Your problem lies with MSN messenger. What version do you have? If you have a version under 6.2 You should get messenger updated. I have MSN messenger 6.2 and never had any problems at all. Hope this helps!
