Hi
When I try to view users’ webcams, I simply get a message “Waiting for Permission” and a really really small window. The window appears to be stuck because I don’t get a “receiving images” “you don’t have permission” or whatever
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
(found this thread when searching the forums for “webcam”)

I have the same problem…. however, I will elaborate some more.
XP Pro w512mb, dsl w/netgear router
I opened port 5100 on my windows firewall, and router.
The main part of the webcam window says “Waiting for permission….”,
however, the status bar says “connecting…”
I was getting an error “this person’s webcam is not avaliable”, however today that changed to “network error connecting to server”.

The person i am trying to view, has several other people who can view their webcam over yahoo messenger just fine, so i doubt it’s them.
Is there a windows firewall or router setting i have overlooked?
this is driving me nuts! :confused:
