Jonathan-
I wish I had Nancy's luck; it didn't work for me. I am running Windows
Messenger 5.1; so are my contacts. I invite someone to a conversation (voice
only, haven't tried video), they accept. At the very bottom of the
Conversation window, there is a phone icon with "Calling <name>'s computer"
on both of of our screens. After about 1 minute, I get the following
message: The network or computer you are trying to reach is experiencing a
problem. Please try again later. The other person get's a message the
conversation has ended.
I feel like Edison trying to invent the phone. Any ideas?
Thank you
