Cant view or broadcast webcam

[chtucker18]

I cant view or broadcast my webcam. It says network error. The port is open. my internet is wireless. whats wrong?

I've been having the same problem, not only when trying to broadcast webcam, but also when trying to view other peoples webcams.

I think its a Yahoo problem, and I found the solution in keeping trying. Sometimes it worked the 2nd time, sometimes it worked the 10th time. Its a pain having to do it that way though.

whats the port number for yahoo that works? I heard different ones and none of them work. what port number to what?

Well, I don't fully understand your question there, but I think this is what you mean. Heres a quote from the Yahoo Messenger website:

quote:If Messenger is unable to find an open port, ask your System Administrator to open port 5050 to our Messenger servers, cs1.yahoo.com, cs2.yahoo.com, and cs3.yahoo.com.

So, I think the answer to your question would be port 5050?
