Ron, First, what type of connection do you have to the Internet? If it is DSL or CAble, then I assume you have a dynamic IP address rather than a static IP address. If this is correct, you have an issue with network address translation. Try hooking the PC directly to your modem and see if you can do a voice conversation that way. If you don't have cable/DSL, then you need to make sure you enable the appropriate ports in your firewall. These depend on whether you are using Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger. If you have problems, I may be able to help. Write me off-list as this isn't really a JFW problem.

I have never succeeded in sett9ing up a voice conversation with MSN Messenger. I have set up the audio and that works. I can do instant messaging (so it doesnt seem to be a connection problem). Whenever I right click a contact and select start a voice conversation, I get his acceptance but I cant hear him nor can he hear me. After a short time I get the phrase telling me that the conversation has ended. I must be making an elementary mistake but Im darned if I can find this out. I am running Jaws 5, Windows xp professional and I have downloaded the latest version of MSN Messenger. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Ron. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
