I have a Linksys WRT610N router that is blocking voice. I can get Voice to work by direct connecting the computer to the DSL modem, so I know its the router. I did not have this problem on my older router also a Linksys. I tried Linksys customer support and opened the required ports in the port forwarding section. I turned off anything that looked like a firewall. I suspect he router is port forwarding for the SLVoice application and not for the SLVoiceAgent.exe, but no one seems to know which program uses which ports. From the Wiki:

The following ports need to be reachable through any firewall infrastructure:

• Ports 12000-17000 - UDP - for voice media
• Port 80/443 - TCP - for Web server
• Ports 5060 or 5062 - UDP - for voice control signals
• Ports 3478/3479 - UDP - to aid in setting up voice with NAT

This is making me crazy, I use voice to listen to readings, not to chat.

Problems here too!
I am having problems with voice since few weeks. After apparently no changes in my computer, my slvoice.exe started going crazy.
I have a router Atlantis since last year but the problem started recently, like a few weeks ago.
It works most of the day, and in the evening after about 9 pm, I get back to my pc, I log in again, and it won't work anymore. Next morning, everything fine again, voice working!
I tried EVERYTHING. Resetting any kind of thing on sl, or router. Logging on and off, changed preferences, check uncheck voice, router settings, opening all the ports i found on Wiki and all the forums of the universe, i got through, and nothing helps. It just gets that dumb yellow symbol near the local chat, and it won't work!
slvoice.exe keeps running in the task manager, but I can't hear anyone nor talk...
Right now, here it's 1 Am, still same problem..
It looks like a problem occuring only at a certain time, how can that be?
It freaks me out cause that's the time I got all my friends online, and they all use voice and not text, and I am like..nothing, just standing there like a dummy..
Help..

Curious, Menchor - and this may not be your problem - but what OS are you using?

I had a new Linksys router when I bought my new PC with x64 Vista, and the router became unpredictable. It would work for some things and not others.

So I junked it and bought a D-Link router, and have not had a single problem since.

Maybe it's Linksys?

The router's firewall won't be able to distinguish between applications. Only the firewalls running on your computer can do that. It will (should) forward all traffic on the designated port regardless of the application sending/receiving it. You're definitely forwarding it to the correct local IP address? (Open a command prompt and type ipconfig <enter> to get that.)

Wow. Menchor posted that in March. The thread was necroed.

I bought a different router, problem solved, but I was using xp and vista on different machines

I had the same problem. I am not an expert, but i got it to work. The ports available wirelessly thru router not the same as ports available direct. I have netgear router. I called them and they remotely added Ports 12000-17000 - UDP - for voice media & Ports 3478/3479 - UDP - to aid in setting up voice with NAT.
From internet search SL is not alone in having this problem.
