Hi all, I have a problem voice chatting with MSN messenger, actually windows messenger and suspect my firewall, anyoen got ideas what ports I need to open on my linksys router to fix this or changes in sygate or anythign else I should know? I've had a few people ask me to do it lately and it just won't work. Usually it shuts down the hole program but I think the majority of the problem is firewall related.
The problem is most likely one which relates to your router. Sadly this problem is very common and is one which is almost impossible to resolve. There is a common known problem with routers and voice traffic over the internet - i have had three routers and have not been able to voice chat with msn on any of them. I had similar problems with for the people, skype, however, seems to work fine. hth. well i know it doesn't but ...
all routers are configurable if you do it right, I've made other programs work I just need to know the ports.
