I was using comcast cable and was able to have vedio and voice conversation to India. I changed to DSL and since then I am not able to have any of them. Can some one guide me.
 
part of it may be your connection speed.... where I live cable is allot
faster than any of the DSL connections.

Local DSL here is a measly 512Kb while cable is 3.0 Gb. Guess which will
give you the necessary speed to do what you want?

It is probably because the DSL provider has supplied you with a NAT modem.

Well,then I do not understand this statement in your post: "I changed to
DSL and since then I am not able to"

That's not my statement - that's the original poster asking the question.
 
You're wrong about that. 3.0 Gbs means 3 *Gigabits* per second. The best
cable does is 3 *Megabits* per second (3Mbs). Also, that is *download* speed
only; upload speed is a "measly" 256Kbs (kilobytes per second). Upload speed
is just as important for video conferencing as download speed. DSL comes in
to "flavors" - ADSL or Asynchronous DSL - with download speeds up to 1.5Mbs
and upload speeds up to 384Kbs and SDSL or Synchronous DSL - meaning upload
and download speeds are the same and are up to 1.5Mbps. SDSL would work
*much* better than cable for video conferencing *if* both parties had it and
at the highest speed available.

It is much more likely that the original poster's problem is caused by a
firewall or other port blocking either by his ISP (DSL provider) or some
setting of his DSL modem.
 
Well pardon me, but I thought that was who was asking for a solution and
that was who I was addressing the answer.
