Needs to be a uPNP (universal plug and play) router (assuming you are using NAT), and I don't think the 114 is. _____ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ed Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 8:06 PM To: Win2000 Subject: [windows2000] OT: Passing MSN audio through home firewalls Sorry for a slightly off topic question.... The Setup (at Home): Win2000 OS MSN Messenger all updated NetGear FR114P Problem: When my wife uses MSN Messenger, just the typing part), it all works. However, when she tried to initiate a audio conversation, it always fail. I have sniffed for the various ports that have to be opened (open both way and all protocols). I open the ports in the firewall. However, audio conversations still do not work. Question: Has anyone been able to make MSN Messenger work with an audio conversation through a NAT based firewall? At work, our firewall (Cisco) blocks almost everything. However, MSN Messenger works with audio (tested only once). Eduard L. Frerking Captain Jason M. Dahl School San José, CA 95111
