Win messenger and firewalls (maybe not)
Has anyone succeded to do a webcam conversation with messenger? I tried with some friends of mine and the webcam conversation only works with net-meeting. No success at all with messenger. No sound, nothing.

No sound, nothing...
I have zone alarm pro which I disableled (works with net-meeting, zone alarm on), no success...
My friends are behind a linux firewall which has been configured to work with net-metting at least.
I guess there is not much difference between the way messsenger and net-meeting handle the webcam streaming..
hmm also,
I saw somewhere thet there was going to be a fairly large windows update online (today), and especialy some messenger enhancements.
Hope this will cut some bugs instead of adding more features.. well..
Thanks for any clues!

Ho..
in here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/communicate/videoconf.asp
it says (last sentence):
If you are on a local area network behind a firewall (for example, a corporate network), you can talk to someone who is behind the same firewall that you are, but you may not be able to connect on a computer–to–computer call with someone outside the firewall.
I don' t belive it, there should be a way to configure this trough a firewall..
