Need help with ISP firewall

Short of finding an open proxy to use, or some other port to run the application on, there is little that you can do if the ISP is blocking the service/ports.

If you are subscribing to the ISP service, have you contacted them yourself and asked why they are blocking the service?

This generally shows up behind a NAT firewall. I would look to the local network guys before the ISP. I can't see an ISP compromising that type of traffic.

i agree...chances are, it is mostly the local router NATing the traffic. ISPs have no business blocking chatting protocols.

But if it is > I'm US military currently in Ecuador. We use the local ISP here and

Yahoo webcam interface with work with NAT, without opening ports, as it can use a proxy.

Many foreign countries ISP's block many things that we don't get blocked in the USA or other more forward countries.

Just an update, I tried Skype today and the webcam worked great. I don't know what the difference is between Yahoo and Skype but I'll just keep using Skype. Thanks for all the help.

Good to hear. That is a strange difference. Might warrant some investigation.
