Is anyone able to videoconference with firmware 2.50?
Although UPnP is enabled, i can only connect to a wireless
machine inside my firewall. Anyone?

Hi,

Actually, you *can* do router to a router (something we call double NATing). But, you cannot
use Messenger's features in this scenario (as UPnP really doesn't like this situation).
