IPcop

nglbrkr · 01-22-2006, 01:12 AM

I'm having trouble with yahoo messenger on a winXP machine with firewall off. Chat and web cam work, but the voice doesn't.

I have tried forwarding ports on my IPcop, but given the contradictory data available (on yahoo help site and others) on which to forward, I even tried opening the whole range from 5000 to 65000, but it still didn't work.

Any suggestions? How do you configure your Ipcop to allow yahoo voice?

I object to this. Try reading my post first.

Does no one know how to let Yahoo voice through an IPcop?

well look man you have to excuse me, but i get confussed easily :/

sorry.. i just saw winxp and went bonkers :]

have you tried a proxy.

if you have the port #'s (ie for the cam & voice in yahho.com), maybe unlock them in the firewall?

i'm only (barely) familiar with guarddog..

i'll read up alittle more, and post back when i find something else.

good luck

here is some stuff i found tooling around: (i havn't tried any of it, soooo..)

Yahoo messenger:

in order to use all the Yahoo! Messenger Webcam features, your firewall must permit
incoming and outgoing TCP connections on port 5100.

and i found this here on voice:

and last but not least

(the site doesn't look very preddy.. but you never know

Understandable. Its my wife's windows, because she hates the japanese input on linux. Nothing I can do about it.

I suppose I'll just keep trying and post back when I fix it. It worked fine on my smoothie before I switched it to IPcop. I suppose I might even go back to smoothie.
