At the moment , I'm starting a business, it's a LAN network which allows users to access the Internet. But I have just faced a problem which I can't firgure it out how to fix it. The problem is: My proxy server can use Yahoo Voice Chat and Yahoo Webcame but the other machines can't. When I go to Yahoo Help, it says "behind firewall" , they don't allow other machines in the Local Area Network to use these services ( Webcam & Voice Chat ) except my server. I have 25 computers and 1 server using Win 98 SE and WinGate 4.41 to run the entire network. Is there any other way to avoid this ? I want all machines are able to use Yahoo WebCam and Voicechat. I really appreaciate your help and suggestions. Many many thanks to you all!!!! Cheers guys Phi	phihungnz (788)

Try using Microsoft Netmeeting, you can specify the IP addys on your LAN to connect to. The only downside is that the conversations are one on one, rather than multiple cameras that Yahoo offers.
