Webcam problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I've got the same problem and have a Creative webcam, XP Pro and a DLink
wireless router. I can text chat with a friend overseas, but whenever we
try to connect via voice or video, they systems cannot connect. We can use
Yahoo messenger but the graphics are poor and jerky. We have no problem
talking on Skype either.

Is there some issue with DLink, XP and Creative webcams?
