my daughter uses xp home edition and has been trying to use msn messenger.when trying to have voice/video conversation she can see the other persons video but they cant see her. a message appears in her dialogue box saying that you are unable to have a video conversation because your computer/isp or network are behind a firewall.any suggestions to help improve better video link.
i do use Xp as well..so it doesn`t matter what do u use…but huhhhhh FIREWALL is important.if u are doing work under networking.when u get conect to internet so 1st main server gets conection then it passes to u …and they fix firewall coz of security …and that`s y u can`t voice chat and use webcame….i`m also facing this problem..even i can`t voice chat trough yahoo messenger…..
any good comments will be appriciated…Ok I know for the voice thing in yahoo, that happenend to me. In yahoo in preferences when you go to connection it should have no proxies even if you have a firewall. So maybe in MSN you might have the proxy thing on??
Try clicking on your dial-up icon by the taskbar and open properties then go to advanced and see if the box is checked in, if so uncheck then OK. Hope this is what you need to do.
Just opening port 6891 will allow MSN Messenger to send files, however you can also open
ports 6892 through 6900 for more simultaneous transfers (up to 10).OR
