Please help me.
My system is Router OS v3.0rc5
Thanks

skype works with no problem. if RouterOS would be able to block skype, that would be something newsworthy :slight_smile: Make sure there is no other problem in your network

Thanks for reply…
Allegedly is a port for the webcam to yahoo which is blocked but not as unlocked. My understanding is that the port 5100 but I am not sure.

Hello again!
Thank you for your interest in helping. Their comments were very helpful and finally I was able to solve my problem.

Explain:
What happened was that initially Router OS v3.0rc5
Blocked the webcam of Yahoo and there I found very important information about the port of video yahoo that is the port 5100, which stated that should enable that port permitting data output.

And this creates a firewall ruler indicating the above, but I do not give a result. Then she was to find other rules on port 5100, and there were 2 rules on that port, one of them which I was prevented connect the webcam. What I did was edit it according to the information found in this way and I worked well the webcam of yahoo.

Here detailed rule that gave me problems:
GENERAL
Chain: TCP
Protocol: TCP (6)
Dst. Port: 5100

ACTION
Action: Block

===========================================
As should be to function:
GENERAL
Chain: Output
Protocol: TCP (6)
Dst. Port: 5100

ACTION
Action: accept

chain should be “Forward” not Output. Forward is for data from customer to internet. Output is for data from Router itself.
