VoIP calling not supporting Vista Premium

Average: 3 (2 votes)

I have downloaded Free Call VoIP calling software. I used it once it was working fine but now it's not working on my notebook having Vista Premium OS. Is there any solution or settings provided to run it properly?

Expert's answer

Since it worked fine and then stopped my hunch is that the Windows firewall settings changed between the time that it worked and now.

Go into the Control Panel and open up the Windows Firewall applet and check the settings under the Exceptions tab. If you do not see your VOIP application listed as one of the applications allowed to connect to the network go back to the main firewall control dialog and use the Add Application button to make an entry for the VOIP program and try making a call.

Testing that the software works between two systems on the local network as well as between two Internet connected systems should help isolate the source of the disconnect.It may be that the particular port the VOIP software uses is blocked at the network level on one end or the other.
