Hi. I'm having a problem chatting using voice on MSN messenger. My DSL connection is linked to a Compex Netpassage 15-D router. Before installing the router I could use voice on MSN messenger but after installing it I couldn't get through. I'm pretty sure I must make some changes to the router's configuration but I have no idea how. I'm just an average guy with an average knowledge on computers. Can anybody please help me with this situation?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

you probably need to figure out what port MSN voice is using

How do I do this? Thanks for the reply Pseudocyber.

:no:

Is there anyone who had been successful with configuring their router to enable voice on MSN Messenger? I'm not willing to abandon MSN Messenger since MSN 6.0 looks so cool. I wanna keep trying but I'm still stuck. :upset: I have added this port 6891 - 6901 (thanks Merlin!) to the router's configuration but it still refuses to transfer voice.

I need a miracle. :dead:

Okay I did some researching and ended up in Microsoft's download website and I found a patch for using voice.net & the NAT problem. If anyone is interested or on the same boat as me here's the link:

I downloaded the patch, installed, and restarted my PC. I opened MSN Messenger and guess what, it still doesn't work. :upset: Curse Microsoft!

Oh well back to searching again.

Found it. There's apparently an issue concerning NAT and firewall with MSN Messenger. Read the article in the link below. Looks like it's a dead end. :dead:

"Why would you want 10 messengers running?"

My question exactly.

DMZ works huh? How do I configure this? There is a 'Private IP address' in my router's DMZ configuration page. How do I obtain this private IP?

Thanks. I want to try this out.
