Hello!

I have already tried the normal MSN messegner BB and got
not reply so I will try here at the XP one also.

I have one contact who I can video conference with no
problem at all. He has no firewall and I have a PnP NAT
firewall. All is good.

Then I have another contact who can video conference with
other people but not me! And when we attempt the video
conference we get a black screen and I get nothing.
However if we run just the webcam it works fine...but
sound doesnt. We both have PnP NAT firewalls.

Can someone please help its driving us crazy? We have
tried using virtual DMZs on our firewalls and ENat and it
hasnt helped either.

Best Regards
Tim
