Vista - Webcam aborts after time

01-21-2008

Hello,
I (and a friend) have often the problem, that the webcam transmition aborts
after some minutes without a reason. It's only writen, that the other has
cancled the viewing. Mostely, only one of the two cams aborts. What can I do
against it? It is very annoying. Is there a log file where I can look in?
Thank you for reply!

Greetings Tobi,

Generally what you're describing occurs when there's been some major packet loss, or your
connection speed has otherwise changed significantly. For example, if either yours or your
contacts internet service provider has started some sort of traffic shaping it may be causing
this.

Any guestimate of about how long it "lasts" before disconnecting?
