Hi all,

Well its now happened to me also, one night I am talking happily away to
friends on MSN messenger 6.1, turned of the comp for the night the next day
I find I can no longer establish Voice communications, I have tried all
sorts and a restore back to the day it worked but no change.

So the question is what changed over night while my comp was sleeping did it
wake up and decide no more or what.

Why is msn messenger so flaky with voice coms, Yahoo works no problem as
does eyball and many others but why is msn the dog!

Any one any ideas as to why things have decided to no longer work as nothing
has changed on my comp.

I am on 1mb ADSL through a SAR715 router again nothings changed with
settings.

Greetings Paul,

Firstly, the change could have occurred on your contacts PC or networking configuration. In
order for a voice conversation to be successfully connected and used, *both* sides need to be
successfully connect to each other.

Secondly, you may just need to reset your UPnP port forwardings. To do so, click Start, All
Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the "Internet
Gateway" (should be under the Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties. Choose the
Settings button, click each 'msmsgs' or 'msnmsgr' entry and then choose 'Delete' to each one.
Then close Messenger (right-click the Messenger icon, choose Exit), then restart Messenger.

Hi Jonathan,

Well I tried as you suggested but to no avail, I doubt its my friends comps
because I cant see 7 different systems going tits up at the same time.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated, would I be correct in assuming
you have some connection with M/S / MSN Messenger, if so why do the use odd
ball protocols when other's seem to do it an easier way.

Paul
 
The, so called, "odd ball" protocols have been working fine for me, for
about 3 years now!
 
They were working fine for me also but now they are not, on a system that
hasn't changed other than shutting down over night.

I still think MSN Messenger although very good is very flaky in some area's.
Why are so many people having problems with voice coms?

Paul
 
Well Blow me,

MSN messenger has decided Voice will work again, no changes to the PC's set
up .......... Mr J Kay can you explain this. Does messenger have a bug in it
?
