Thank you Jonathan. Sykpe works perfectly for the audio,
but MSN Messenger can not run at the same time as Skype.
So, I can either use audio (with Skype) or video (with
MSN Messenger) but not both at the same time.

It is so confusing with Windows Messenger 4.7, 5.0, 5.1
and MSN Messenger 7.0. Here are my questions.

1. Do you have to have Windows Messenger installed in
order to have full functionality of MSN Messenger? If
so, which one?

2. How do I resolve this issue with MSN Messenger with no
audio? What do you mean - you have to have a direct
connection? (One computer is on dsl (with a 4 port
router) and the other is connected through a dsl (no
router) or a wireless network.)

3. How do I turn on UPnP support? Do you mean, I have to
go to the setup of the router in order to turn it on (on
the router itself).

4. What are the software config that I have to set to
make this work?

Jonathan, I really appreciate your expertise and need
your help to get this figured out as soon as possible.

Thank you again for everything!

Andre
