Gizmo not working on Vista?

[Greyghost]

After watching closely for the last few days, I've noticed that no one else has posted on this trouble, so it may just be me, but here's my situation.

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest windoze package on my pc running vista at home, and I also installed the latest N810 package (yes I am running OS08) from Gizmo (4.0.19)

Both 'seem' to work...that is, they both load up nicely. But, when I place the call (from either device), even though it 'rings', the pop-up 'answer me' box does not appear. Then, it automatically 'connects' and shows me 'on the phone' but there is no sound. Trying the video results in the sort of standard 'video doesn't work' error message (I don't have it at hand, sorry) that I've seen others report here in threads related to installation problems.

Ok, I figured it was something that I wasn't doing right, but I just tried it here at work on a pc running XP and it works fine! I get both audio and video with no trouble at all.

The kicker: I also tried it on my wife's laptop running XP and had the same 'connection w/o a connection' problems I did on the Vista machine!

Anyone else experience this situation? Any ideas? Thanks in advance (Reggie can we get a button for that?):)

Well I have the latest Windows Gizmo beta (4.0 v319) working on a couple Vista Ultimate machines and can connect with the N800 just fine. (video, audio, etc)

The only think I've found wierd (on both the Windows client and N800) is the Gizmo bandwidth test/measurement. It always shows <220kbps for me even though I'm on connections that measure much faster then that for outbound/inbound.

Thanks Moonshine, for your input.

I've been fooling around with Gizmo for over a week and have gotten some good support from the Gizmo people. Er, well that is they've been helpful but I have not been able to get it to work. I've opened, forwarded and triggered ports and have really no clue as to why it doesn't work at home, other than to narrow it down to the fact that I'm using a wireless router and that seems to be getting in the way. The connection is there...I can IM and transfer files, but no voice/no video.

I've got other stuff to fool around with so I'll likely just give this up for a while. After all, video phone isn't really a 'killer' app for me, just a novelty. Having said that, if you have any ideas or suggestions, I'm open to them...thanks!
