I have Windows Firewall (XP SP2). I (or WF acting automatically) opened an exception named "MSN Messenger", and a second one "Microsoft DirectPlay Voice Test" (the latter one I think was opened by the Audio/Video Tuning Wizard). If your firewall is application aware (like WF) you'll need to specify the application by name. Or, you may have to list the ports needed. Are you behind a NAT router? I have a Linksys BEFSX41, that's UPnP compliant. If you have a NAT router that's not UPnP compliant, you'll have to manually open ports. For further details on what ports to open, you need to post in microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger <http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger>. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

With your computer listening for remote computers to connect, it is at risk. Most firewalls will indeed block this behaviour unless otherwise configured. Audio and video work differently, so it should not surprise you if one works but not the other. What operating system (name, version, service pack) are you running? How does your computer connect to the internet (what network devices like modem or router - and include make and model please)? What firewall are you running? -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck sonic net.
