My daughter and I both have MSN Messenger 7.5, and we both have Canon
camcorders connected to our Win XP systems via firewire. We are both
connected to the web via a cable modem. We cannot get the video
conversations working. I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem is my
router (Linksys BEFSR41 wired 4-port); the reason I think this, is that I
definitely can get video conversations going between my desktop in my house
and my laptop in the same house; but I cannot get video conversations going
with my daughter who is at another location. I called Linksys and they said
to call Canon; I called Canon and they said to use their software, "DV
Messenger 2" at both ends, but my point is that if it works behind the router
with MSN Messenger 7.5, then it should work across the router. They also
suggested that I bypass the router when I want to do video conversations; not
only
would that be annoying, but the router acts as my hardware firewall, and why
should I expose my system by bypassing the firewall. Any suggestions,
anyone??
