Respected Sir,

Specs :

Internet Connection : LAN
UPnP : On
OS: Windows Xp
Firewall Status: On (Microsoft Windows Xp's default)
MSN Messenger Version :6.1.0211

Remedies Tried :

Opening TCP Ports : 6891-6900
Audio/Video Tunning Wizard (it works perfectly fine)
vidcap32.exe (detects my cam and streams perfectly fine)
Disabling Microsoft Windows Xp's Firewall
Reinstalling Webcam Drivers (Latest)

P.S : System restarted after every change made.

I hope i am not the first person who is facing this
problem. Ive almost surfed 50 hrs to solve this problem
but the problem is as it is so please HELP!!! :'(

I can receive Webcam Stream from both dail-up and my LAN
users (xp and 98 users) but when i start my webcam
conversation it sends complete BLACK stream and after 3-5
minutes it Closes the webcam conversation by itself.

Secondly i knw users on my network which have almost the
same configuration yet are able to use webcam without any
problem.

Sir ill highly appreciate if u please help me with this
problem or if have already solved a problem like this
before please provide me with the URL

Regards

Nikhil Sharma
