    - Help? No video using camcorder w/MSN Hi all- I have my camcorder set up to send video. I use headset/mic for the audio portion & use "video conference to send. For some reason, we cannot get my uncle's laptop to see us. He gets a black screen on his end- the MSN audio works fine, so there's a good connection there. The video works with others so I know it functions properly- even to a friend in UK- & my uncle is only two hours away. We're both on cable behind wireless routers. I'm assuming it's something on his end as mine works otherwise. Any ideas? Help? Tracy Tag: MSN 7.0 Tag: 63875

    - Audio Problem - Edge Of Insanity Firstly, my apologies for such a large post, but since it's not exactly a new issue for the newsgroup, I wanted to be as complete as possible in order to give readers the best chance of assessing my problem and suggesting a resolution. Here are the salient facts regarding the current system configuration followed by a description of an all too familiar problem relating to audio (note that MSN Messenger 6.2 or 7.0 Beta both encounter the same problem and both have been removed an re-installed several times) : Network : wired network comprising a Netgear gigabit switch which, for the purposes of this problem, has a single PC attached. The switch also has a Netgear WGE111 wireless bridge connected into it which wirelessly links to a Netgear WGT624 v2 wireless-capable router at another location. The router in turn is connected to a Motorola cable modem and then out to my cable broadband feed from Telewest, a UK cable provider and ISP. Local PC : - XP Professional (upgraded from XP Home) with SP2 and all automatic updates applied - XP Firewall active with MSN Messenger listed in the exceptions and the scope set as "any computer (including those on the internet)" - nothing is ticked under Services or ICMP in the XP Firewall Advanced settings for the LAN connection on the local PC - "Allow Incoming Echo Request" is the only item ticked in the XP Firewall Advanced | ICMP settings screen - Norton Antivirus installed, up-to-date and active - Netgear gigabit NIC - QoS Packet Scheduler completely uninstalled - Windows XP uPnP service running - Windows XP SSDP service running - No other software firewall installed - never has been - The Internet Gateway item in the Network Connections has nothing listed under "Services" - The Internet Gateway item in the Network Connections has no port forwardings listed Netgear WGT624 router : - latest firmware installed (v 4.2.6) which for me has fixed a widely encountered reboot issue (the router has been up for days now) - uPnP compliant and has uPnP activated - NAT enabled - SPI firewall activated - Receives a DHCP assigned IP address from the ISP - No WEP enabled - No port forwarding or triggering enabled - No site blocking in place - No amendments to factory settings for MTU, preamble and so on - Set to not respond to ping requests - Kept outside the DMZ Netgear WGE111 bridge : - latest firmware applied - No WEP enabled Access to the internet from the PC works fine in this configuration, at least for web browsing, email and gaming, but an MSN Messenger audio conversation cannot be initiated with a remote user whose setup has just recenlty been proven to be fully working. He is running XP SP2, is on an ADSL broadband connection behind a NAT enabled uPnP Belkin router and has successfully held audio conversations through MSN Messenger with other parties as part of this investigation so as to eliminate one setup as being problematic. Of course, the remote machine could still be the cause of the problems somehow. Here is a list of observations and symptoms :- - MSN Messenger shows that the PC is behind a uPnP symmetric firewall and that a direct connection has been made (administrator) - the MSN Messenger Audio and Video Tuning Wizard has been run - Using Windows Messenger at the local end and either MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger at the remote end results in a successful audio connection - standard text message features work fine as do some of v 7.0's additional goodies such as winks and nudges - the PC can receive video from the remote user's web cam, but this is no clue since video uses a relay server and audio needs a direct connection - file sharing works fine at both PCs - the local PC can receive files - the Messenger Whiteboard facility will not work, regardless of which end initates the activity - the router's uPnP port map shows ports opening when an audio conversation is initiated; the IP address associated with the ports is that of the PC running MSN Messenger - disabling the XP Firewall seems to have no effect on this problem - ports opened by MSN Messenger were closed by completely restarting MSN Messenger inbetween tests - for invitations from the local machinke to the remote machine, MSN Messenger informs that it's trying to connect to the remote machine, but the remote user doesn't even see the invitation and the attempt times out - for conversations initiated by the remote user, the local PC receives the invitation, but upon accepting the attempt to connect it just times out and the remote user sees no message regarding the local machine's acceptance of the invitation - the PC can be used for online gaming with products which supposedly utilise uPnP (e.g. EA Games' "Battle For Middle Earth") - it is not possible to downgrade to Messenger 6.1 as per afh3's post in 09/2004 since Messenger now forces an upgrade to 6.2 when it's run I have read through countless posts on many sites and have attempted just about everything suggested therein. Following this trawl of the net, it does occur to me that I am not 100% sure that uPnP on the Netgear WGT624 router is free of any defect which might cause the problem. Unsurprisingly, Netgear Support refutes that there are any uPnP defects on this unit under the latest firmware. A sure-fired test of this aspect would probably be a good first step. It has been suggested to me that since the local PC can host online games such as "Battle For Middle Earth" that uPnP must be working ok, but I am unsure that this is a complete test and so alternative suggestions on a definitive test are welcome. I am not a networking expert, but the activity on the router's uPnP port map table suggests to me that the router is opening ports and associating them with the correct IP address for the PC. However, the MSN Messenger behaviour indicates that whilst requests from the remote machine reach the local machine, the responses by the local machine to that incoming request do not reach the remote machine. In addition, requests from the local machine do not even seem to reach the remote machine at all. I assume that if the local router is correctly opening ports and sending the invitation out to the remote machine then these would be seen at the remote end, but it's not seen at all. Does this indicate that requests from the local PC are not being sent out from the router at all, that they're not being handled correctly by NAT, or that they're not being correctly handled by the remote machine ? How can I investigate this aspect in more detail ? Many thanks in advance for any help offered. I would be extremely grateful for any additional ideas as the resolution of this problem has become an obsession, one which threatens to see me commiited to an institution soon (twitch twitch). Best regards, Nick. Tag: MSN 7.0 Tag: 63863

    - DISPLAY PICS DONT WORK i put a post up here before and Jonathan Kay told me to do this It sounds like your display picture "cache" of images has been corrupted. To fix, click Start, then Run, then type: %appdata%\microsoft and click OK. Right-click the MSN Messenger folder and choose Delete. After all this, restart Messenger and see if the problem has been corrected. but when i do i get this error message windows cannot find '%appdata%\microsoft'. You may have typed the name incorrectly in the Run dialog, or another open program cannot find a system file. to search a file, click the start button and then click search. what should i do now?

    - bigger contact list when msn messenger 7 final comes out the msn beta team who are working on the final of msn messenger 7 said that a larger contact list is coming out when msn messenger 7 final comes out. even though contact limit has nothing to do with the client(as its server side) they're still going to increase it. not sure by how much though. Be great if it is 250 contacts. Tell the msn team what the maximum number of contacts on ur contact list should be in msn messenger 7 final by going here: http://support.msn.com/contactus_emailsupport.aspx? productkey=messenger&ct=eformfree There is no mention of Offline messaging though. So email the msn team and tell them u'd like an offline messaging feature(like icq and yahoo have). Tell them why u want it to. I would really like this. it'd be so much easier than having to log into hotmail. Tag: MSN 7.0 Tag: 63851

    - MSN Messenger and Norton Personal Firewall 2005 Hi all ... Say ... got a free copy of Norton Systemworks and Personal Firewall with Office 2003 and decided, against my better judgement, to check it out. So far it actually seems to be working okay (although I much prefer the way McAfee is set up) -- with one exception. It seems like it blocks all my "auto start" programs that need web access at start-up -- MSN Messenger, GMail Notifier, etc. Now I can start all these programs manually, but they won't start automatically at bootup. Anyone run into this and found a fix? Thanks! Ax Tag: MSN 7.0 Tag: 63840

    - [Bug found] Messenger 7 and smooth scrolling I have an Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 which have a smooth scrolling whell: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/features/tiltwheel.mspx this wheel is influenced by velocity: with a similar log(n) function, if i scroll slowly, the page scroll single line by single line, if i scroll faster, the page scroll more line a time. This type of scrolling (very useful) is NOT supported in the MSN Messenger 7 contact list. I have many contact listed, and with my wheel, both I scroll very slowly and I scroll faster, the list go down 3 lines a time. This is veeery irritating. Please do something to correct this issue.

    - problems with video behind firewall I am trying to set up MSN Messenger to use my Canon Elura 60 DV camera to send my dad video (he doesn't have a camera, he just receive only). I have a Linksys router, it has uPnP forwarding but I'm really not certain how to use it (or if I need it where I'm not receiving any incoming video). My dads router is some abomination from his Florida phone company that's not particularly intuitive and doesn't appear to have uPnP, so he just forwarded port 6901 (which according to post #2937 located here http://www.canadiancontent.net/forums/about2554.html is the video port). We don't care about audio, only sending my outgoing video. When I connect to him, I get a message saying there is a technical problem and I've been disconnected. This works fine with AIM, but I'm limited to a 2"x2" video and I'd like my parents to be able to see a much larger video (new baby here). Any help or alternate application suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: MSN 7.0 Tag: 63821
