How do i use my webcam with yahoo messager?

Sorry, you appear to be behind a firewall and are currently unable to use the Yahoo! Webcam service?

• Hi, i got 3 pc's at home connected by a belkin router and now a laptop inspiron 1520 with vista ultimate. On all other pc's the webcam function of yahoo works, though on my laptop it isn't working. i'm using mcafee, but the firewall is turned off, just like the windows firewall. Still my webcam on yahoo ain't working, though on msn it does work and if i turn my webcam on for myself it also works, but as soon as i invite someone else i can't broadcast anymore. I can neither accept someones webcam invite. Thanks

• Answer:

  be sure you are using the latest version of yahoo messenger.. goto http://messenger.yahoo.com if you still cant get that computer to broadcast try checking the yahoo connection preferences. under connection be sure No Proxies is selected. it might be the mcafee firewall I have read that even if its listed as disabled it still prevents stuff.. which SUCKS!!! if you were trying to get super webcam going you will have to go into your router and open the superwebcam ports 5100 you can goto portforward to see exactly how to open your ports for your router.
