When trying to connect to another user manually, First Contact reports a timeout error.Make sure that the IP address of the other user that you are entering is correct. If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, First Contact may fail to connect to other users. Firewall and proxy server support may be available in future versions of First contact. When using Push-And-Talk with some games (e.g. Starsiege Tribes), the other players cannot hear me talk. MS DirectX 7.0 is installed in the system.This is a bug of MS DirectX 7.0 which allows certain games to take control of the keyboard exclusively, Microsoft released a new version of DirectX which addresses this problem. Download and install MS DirectX 7.0 to MS DirectX 7.0a patch. (Note that a full install download is available here, but if you already have MS DirectX 7.0 installed the much smaller patch is recommended).
