I'll have a go at your second question. I'm guessing you are sharing an internet connection through Linux. It does this using NAT (network address translation) and I spent a lot of time trying to get MSN messenger voice / video to work. Until I found a site somewhere that told me MSN voice / video doesn't work through NAT, period. So, I gave up. And tried Yahoo messenger instead, which (thankfully) does work through NAT. Had to convince my friends to switch too. And the good news? Another Microsoft product bites the dust!!! Now if the developers at Yahoo would only port voice / video to Linux I'd be even happier! HTH, Ron. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Autos - Get free new car price quotes http://autos.yahoo.com
