Re: SIP Password

Hi Zehety

Like you I would prefer to use what is already on my PC and I have made a
bit of progress on this topic. I have XP SP2 and my WM version 4.7 did not
have the Accounts tab. So I re-installed it from [url]
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp [/url], not the big
button but the link at the foot of the web page. This warned me it was an
earlier version (4.7 (4.7.2009)) and gave me an Accounts tab (but no user
name or password box).

So I then tried all the things suggested in this thread but to no avail,
including entering a password in the User Accounts -> Advanced -> Manage
passwords section, and also setting my router to forward the ports listed at
[url] https://secure.sipgate.co.uk/user/configuration.php?show_conf=xlite
[/url].

After this I gave up and installed X-Lite from [url]
http://www.xten.com/index.php?menu=download [/url] which took all of 20 mins
and worked first time with my sipgate number.

If anyone finally cracks this Windows Messenger issue please post it here!

Simply because I need to hop from PC to PC without adding extra software, bad
example in a compamy. Also if you have messenger open to talk to the kids its
one program less. But if it cant be done lets leave it alone.

Thanks to all for trying!

Hi,

To be fair, most other SIP phones (including SJPhone) are light-years ahead of this hack in
Windows Messenger. I'm not quite sure why so many people want to do it that way when other
options are available.

That answers the mystery of why it cant work, thanks I shall give up with
that project and use a third party software solution.

Greetings Simon,

I believe this functionality was changed significantly enough in Windows Messenger 5.1 to
break these "hacks" (it's not intended that you use the SIP based support in Windows
Messenger as a SIP phone but it used to work).

Instead just use SJPhone, the instructions are on that page as well; it's what I use for
this
stuff:

The draytek site is where I got the how I can do all you say in regards to
changeing the setting in advanced where I added "draytel.org" BUT

If you go to the page you mentioned I dont get anything you see from the line#
"Next, sign into Windows Messenger, using the account details you set up"

So no password option!

Also when you press start a voice option there is no Communtication Service.
But I have filled in the SIP Communications Service Connection Configuration
just as discribed in that page!

When I do log in to the SIP server is comes back after 60 seconds with a
message.


You have been signed out of SIP Communications Service because that service
has been temporarily shut down. Please try again later.

I feel that it is if the Communications Service is not installed properly as
you confirm I have gone through the actions to set it up correctly.

How this could be there is no SIP server? draytel.org is your SIP server, actually.
Have you seen this link?
http://www.draytel.org/software_setup.html#winmess

Uncheck the box near .NET passport account, and check it only near SIP communication
account.
There under the Advanced button you'll see your server settings.

This means you're logged in .NET/MSN network instead of SIP network.
