What does "fail" mean in this case? Outbound calls should connect with issue from behind a typical router/firewall setup. Without special ALG(application level gateway) in the router (or use of the dmz) audio/video will be outgoing only however. Is this what "fail" means in your situation (there is another non router related problem that sometimes crops up on XP that can cause no outgoing audio/video -- so a call could appear as data only -- it should still connect however). > > I've been banging my head against a wall for 3 days now, going over > the various options, all of which are way over my head.
