MSN Messenger 6.2
When I try to uses webcam features, it freezes for about 20 seconds and then
fails to connect. Using Messenger via my ADSL modem (ie without the
router), the features work fine.
I have a Speedtouch 510. Looking on the net many people have same problem
and seems to occur after installing SP2 - I realise that it may be nothing
to do with Messenger and a problem with the router, but any help would be
useful,
I can't always access the router via Telnet with UPnP turned on!?!
Thanks.
