Hi,

i've notice a bug when using Messenger Plus behind a router.
In fact, my correspondant can't hear me, and connection is very long.
I tried to stop Messenger Plus and just use msn and all is working perfectly! No sound problem and connection is very quick.
The problem is the same with videoconf. but video works well. It's just a sound problem.
Perhaps it's a problem with the Upnp of the router and MsgPlus. (I'm sure that it's come from MsgPlus).

wow ive nbever heard of this before but my machine doesnt have a router so i wouldnt know itd be interesting to see if patchou is able to fix this problem.

LOL, if that's true now i know why yesterday I only see my sister and we couldn't talk, i'm behind a router, but i never thought it was for plus, I don't thing plus has nothing to do with this. it has to be something else, becouse plus doesn't use proxy a nothing like that.

Let's wait to see what happend with the thread

ok cool

I agree with you that it's strange that it's plus fault, but i made the test just to see what hapen ant result is here.
Can you try to make videoconference with and without plus and tell the result!

i can really say that these results are helpful, but heres what happened to me

msn w/ plus = no sound
msn w/o plus = sound

2 hours later
msn w/ plus = no sound
msn w/o plus = no sound

15 mins later
msn w/ plus = no sound
msn w/o plus = no sound

10 mins later
msn w/ plus = no sound
msn w/o plus = sound

I almost got the same problem.

I have an D-Link 604 router which are connected with two computers. Computer no 1 has MSN 6.2 with Plus! installed. Computer no 2 has MSN 6.2 without Plus! installed. On computer no 2 there is no problem to run MSN, everything works perfectly, but on computer no 1 with Plus! installed it is not working.

When you log in on the Messenger Plus! on computer no 1 all Internet traffic on both computers stops, but as soon you turn Messenger Plus! off Internet working again without problem.

I think the problem must be Plus! in some way. Or maybe it is the Computer itself (Computer no 1)? But the strange thing is that MSN 6.2 works perfectly on the computer with Plus! NOT installed.

This seems unlikely. Plus! only hooks into MSN Messenger it doesn't alter any connection settings in any way. And certainly doesn't alter audio\video chats.
Perhaps somehow when Plus hooks in the router no longer recognises Messenger audio and video chat. But from everything I know of how Plus! works, this seems impossible...It doesn't even act as a proxy...let alone do anything with settings to the router...

I think it´s strange that it works on one computer (without Plus!) and not with the computer with Plus!. The two computers are connected to the same router and no computer got any "special treatment" in the router configuration.

I will try to uninstall MSN on the computer where it is not working and try just install MSN without Plus! and see how it´s working. Then I can see what´s happening.
