Re: Skype or MSN massenger and webcam under VMware?

[Gadi Cohen]

Hi There's only an unstable alpha driver for my webcam in Linux, which is mostly unusable.  Since VMware version 5, there is support for isochronous USB devices, and since then, my webcam works flawlessly on Messenger under Windows XP.  I'm running Mandriva Linux but I can't see you having any problems at all on Debian.  And yes that was with NAT (and possible UPNP). Good luck. Gadi Amos Shapira wrote: Hello, Does anyone here had positive experience running Windows version of Skype or MSN massenger under Windows-XP/VMware/Linux(debian)? Skype is the only VoIP for Linux I managed to use throught my ADSL router NAT and MSN Massenger on Win98 is the only application I managed to use for webcam conversation. I'm aware that the latest version of Kopete supports MSN video conf but I haven't managed to make it connect through my NAT, not even with port forwarding.
