Using Win XP & broadband connections

My daughter and I have just installed webcams and want to use Windows
Messenger. The cameras work OK but we cannot connect - just get a
message 'Connecting to x's computer' but there is no network traffic
and nothing happens. Have tried disabling the firewall but still no
luck.

Also when trying to connect I get a black square on the desktop.

Any clues please?
