Hi

Has anyone managed to get the audio to work via a linux firewall?
If I start the webcam, my brother can see it but if I start the audio, no
luck.

Is there a way to force the audio to use a fixed port number?

Thanks in advance
Gavin

Have you seen Kopete? I think they start these compatibility
projects because there is no easy solution. The audio needs
to be UPnP compliant.
 
Greetings Gavin,

The Webcam support within MSN Messenger 6.x can actually use a relay server, so it will work
regardless if a direct connection can be established or not.

Something like the following has been proven to work:
