Webcam Issue by Keefje on 10-26-2008 at 10:41 PM
I've been having cam conversations with this person in WLM.
Cams both work fine, we can both see eachother.
But after a while both cams shut down. (read: viewing cams is cancelled)
Things I thought might've caused it:
- That person might have a bad connection, when it can't keep up with the transferrate it shuts down. (I got a 8mbit connection)
- Bad cam driver, though that wouldn't shut my cam down.
- Firewall is interfering with the transfer [url="http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080629115306AAYIres"](source)[/url] though not likely.
What do you think might cause these random disconnects.

p.s. I don't have problems when camming with other people, so the problem is on the other person's side.

Any problems with other contacts? I've had trouble with bad connections on 8Mb. It all depends on how much traffic you have at the time (or if you have a Fair Usage Agreement).
16Mb now and I've never had a problem.
