Why cant i make pc to pc calls using yahoo messenger?

  • Answer:

    Run the Call Setup Assistant: Open Messenger. on the Menu • Click on Messenger • Click Preferences. • Click Calling and Audio. In the Calling and Audio dialog box • Click Open the Call Setup Assistant. Follow the instructions to test your microphone and speakers and specify your Internet connection. You have to be set up and the person you call has to be set-up too. Although they can still type a message if they are not set-up Your firewall must support outbound TCP connections for the PC-to-PC voice feature to work. Most home firewalls and many corporate firewalls have this as their default setting. Yahoo! Messenger will work if any one of these TCP ports are open: 5061 443 80 The system requirements for using Voice with Yahoo! Messenger are: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP Pentium class processor Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) At least 64MB RAM A non-proxy connection to the Internet A microphone, sound card, and speakers DSP Group TrueSpeech™ audio compression (CODEC) software
