M$ Portrait (video calling)

[yallow]

Hi,

I managed to videocall myself via Activesync (different Portrait accounts on PC and Polaris), though when I try to call through HSDPA, it hangs with "wait for a response from <IP adress>".

I think there is something to do with real/NAT ip-adressing?

Anybody knows how to avoid this?

Thank you.

Which version of MS Portrait are you using? how did you get it to install? I tried this a few weeks ago and couldn't even get it on my TC. Anyway, you might want to try turning off your proxy from the advanced tab in the connection settings.

It is not "hot", but I do not think it is abandonned.

I do not use any proxy, I think Portrait needs real IP addresses to work properly and do not have any.. (((

try logging in with a .net account, and try calling someone from the buddy list

I did. I can chat with buddies, but I cannot call 'em!
It tranfers my account into IP adress and then calls. So if I use it in the same LAN it works, but it doesn't work over Internet...
