[kopete] can't send video

Kopete 0.12 beta 1, KDE 3.5.1, SUSE 10.0
Kopete sees my Logitech QuickCam Express and I see myself in the preview in the configure window. I can connect to MSN and do chat but I can't send and receive video. When I select 'Show webcam' a window pops up on the contact's computer and he selects 'Accept' but then nothing happens - no video on my computer and no video on the contact's computer.
What am I missing.Any suggestion?

Which way are you connected to the internet?
If you are behind a router, you should make sure, that you have the router configured correctly to forward the port you did choose for webcam connection.
And you have to configure Kopete, so it always uses the same port. This setting is available in the settings for your MSN-Account.

.
Settings for my MSN account are: Use HTML-method, incomming port 6891.
I am behind a router and port 6891 is opened for incomming traffic.
