Hi Peter and others, My two cents: I've also seen this issue. In my case it's caused by Windows Firewall in XP (SP2). The firewall blocks incoming access to a port unless the application is sending from that port. I've not discovered a work around other than temporarily turning off Windows Firewall, or keeping Talk selected and muting audio by other means (either using a button on the mic, or using the Windows Audio control panel).

Also i would have expected full duplex audio operation to allow one to speak and receive audio simultaneously, but it also appears that when you speak locally and start to transmit audio it cuts of the incoming audio. Is this normal ? Ive come across this on two XP based machines now. It dont appear to be a networking issue in that once talk is enable others can be heard fine. In both cases the machines had different audio cards, and one is single Pc the other a 3 pc system.
