MSN Messenger signs on all by itself
Hi,
Recently I've been having a strange problem. My MSN Messenger will sign on
all by itself. I think this started since I installed my Microsoft MN-700
Wireless Base Station at my house.
At work, I sign in to my Messenger. A few minutes later, I get kicked out
because my messenger on my home machine signs in all by itself.
What could be causing this? Settings on MSN Messenger? My Wireless Base
Station? Is my home computer compromised?

Web Cam disconnets randomly
I am running MSN Messenger 6.1 on XP pro. I am in Florida
communicating to Colombia SA which has XP home with MSN
Messenger 6.1 also. I have a cable modem and the person
in Colombia is using a 56 K modem. We can start up a
conversation using web cam and it works fine for a while
then disconnects. We click on Web Cam and start over
again but then get disconnected again after a while. We
tried using video conference and it is better but still
disconnects occasionally (video quality is worse with
video conference). The audio is good and does not
disconnect. Is it possible that because of the distance
involved there are many routers that might have fire walls
that can cause this type of disconnect problem. Any
assistance will be greatly appreciated because this is
driving us crazy.... Tag: web-cam Tag: 40059
MSN Messenger v6.1.0203 Audio DOES work behind my non UPnP NAT
Hi,
A while ago I was struggling hard to find a workaround for having
voice conversations via Windows Messenger v5.0.0468 and to no avail.
I'm connected to the Internet via an Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro ADSL
Modem/Router which is connected to my 2 WinXP PCs home network through
a switch. File Transfer was working on and off depending on
recipient's setup (could never really figure out what made the
difference though). Last night a friend recommended trying the new MSN
Messenger v6.1.0203 as a fix for the FT problems. Having tried MSN
v6.0 in the past with no better results than Windows Messenger, I was
quite reluctant to try it out again but was finally persuaded and
guess what? Not only file transfers work flawlessly even if its
another NATted network on the other end (using the same version of MSN
Messenger) even voice, which was always said to not withstand a chance
penetrating a non UPnP router is working too. After reading MS's
"Windows Messenger in Windows XP: Working With Firewalls and Network
Address Translation Devices" article at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/evaluate/worki01.asp
it just puzzles me even more how come all this got solved with me not
having to do anything but upgrading the SW? (no router configuration
changes made whatsoever) and another thing - can anybody tell (a) how
does it do it? (workaround the NAT issue that is) (b) Are these
features going to find their way into future releases of Windows
Messenger?
TIA.

problems signing in
I just got a new computer, and I'm running Win 98 SE.
When I downloaded MSN, it loaded fine; however, after the
computer was restarted, msn would not sign in saying that
I was behind a firewall (0x81000365). I don't have a
firewall on my computer but there may be one on the router
that I'm connected to. How do I find that out, and how do
I open ports to MSN?? Please help...I'm lost without my
MSN and have no clue whatsoever about firewalls! Thanks,

MSN Messenger 6.1 - ONE WAY Audio only
Both PC's using the MSN Messenger 6.1.0203 software. We both can use our
webcams and I have to say the video is MUCH faster with 6.1 than 6.0.
Both PC's are Win XP Pro. Mine is through a Linksys BEFSR41 1.44.2z (Only
firmware I found to be stable). UPnP is enabled. Neither of us could get the
audio to work until I did a hard reset of the router and re-enabled the
UPnP. Now I can send my Audio and the other person can hear me but I can not
hear them.
Their connection is using the Netgear WGR614 wireless router (connected
through the ethernet port). I made them reset their router and go back in to
turn on the UPnP and we get the same problem. I cant hear them but they can
hear me. I was thinking the problem may still be on my end because they can
hear their mic through their speakers when they tap it.... so I think it's
working....? We both pass the Audio/Video Tuning Wizards.
We had no problems until they got the newer NG WGR614. They had the Linksys
SR41 like me. Is there anything else I can try? Tag: web-cam Tag: 40052

MSN VOICE Probs
ATTN: Jonathan.
I never had the problem many have/had in signing on 6.1 even the latest "
forced" version. I do still have problem with voice, I always had: I cannot
hear my contacts, they can hear me; video and other features working fine.
I'm using XP pro; thought it
was my sound card problem but wasn't: Net Meeting and Yahoo work fine. I
have been using and still use 6.0 on W98 and W2000 with no probs at all.;
even with the 3rd party firewalls on ( Norton in these cases).On XP I use
MacAfee firewall, but even disabling
it and even uninstalling it completely, MSN Messenger voice doesn't work; I
found an old 5.0; doesn't work either. Actually using this last got some
better results: my contacts voice ,or better a sound like the carrier of a
voice comm. comes up for a few seconds, then fades out. Used "Shields Up" to
find any port left closed behind by my firewall; none is. Getting crazy with
this and would like even if not solve at least understand a little more.
Thanks in advance for any help

In msn messenger (latest version i.e. forced upgrade) I am not able to use my webcam simply by clicking the webcam button.

MSN Messenger A/V test site?
Trying to get audio/video working properly with MSN Messenger
6.1.0203. WindowsXP with cable broadband and a Linksys router.
Linksys ports forwarded as per the kb article on the Linksys site.
Video seems to work fairly well, but not so with audio.
I see many reports of various problems, and would like to try some of
the solutions, but none of (my wifes) contacts have reliable A/V
setups either. Is there a site or 'robot contact' that can be set up
to test the functionality of various features of MSN Messenger? [ie
send and listen for audio, send and listen for video].

Can't IM internally
Hi,
MSN Messenger v 6.0 connects to .net services (Exchange
Messenger Service not configured)
ISA has protocol rule allowing selected protocols only
i.e. HTTP, HTTPS, MSN, MSN Messenger, etc etc.
Users can sign in (sometimes with a little difficulty)
Instant messages can be sent and received to external
(outside ISA) messenger users.
When user A sends IM to user B on the same network, user B
sees the im and replies but user A doesn't see the reply
from user B
If user B initiates conversation, user A sees IM and
replies but User B doesn't see the reply.

What is the maximum # of ppl that can see your webcam at the same moment?
Anyone have any idea when you use MSN Messenger 6.1 to broadcast your webcam
pic, what is the maximum number of peoples that can see your webcam at the same
moment?
Is Yahoo! Messenger better at this regard?
I know Netmetting software a good choise, but it is so difficult to configure
that most people won't be able to see my cam at the end.
I am even willing to pay $$ to webcast my webcam for like 15 minutes. But I
when I search on the internet for them, I can't even find a site like that.
These site is pretty close to what I want, but the people at the other side
(those who want to see my cam) need to have netmetting install, and that won't
work for me.
