Webcam Issues.

[Regla_de_ocha]

Hi there,

Basically, i've been having trouble connecting my webcam over msn to one specific person. I can connect fine mostly to others- and so can she. But everytime we attempt to connect our cams to each other, the window gets to the loading/waiting for contact part and then closes the cam. This is becoming incredibly frustrating! Any ideas? Could it be to do with ports? And if so, how can I fix it? If you need any additional info, feel free to ask.

Thanks, Ocha.


P.s. I wasn't sure how to class this- I think it may be a network issue, but i'll put it under hardware anyway.

Sounds like a conflicting NAT issue. Read more about NATs here http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm

Thanks for the reply. I thought NAT might be the answer too, but i'm not too sure about how to go about fixing that- my experience with NAT stretches as far as configuring my xbox 360. I'm not too sure about it though- I'm definately no expert on pc's or networking, so specific fixes, if possible, would be very handy.

Any other ideas out there?

Still no luck out there? This is killing me


Updates:
I've tried Turning UPnP back on (still not sure why it was off), but no luck. I've also opened port 5100 on my anti-virus, that's the only other advice I could find.
