RE: [Serusers] Windows Messenger 5.0 - sr-users

4 Dec 2003

Windows Messenger does not subscribe at ser. ser only forwards the
subscribe request to the requested client. Kphone uses the same
technique.

Anyway, I suggest to uninstall Windows Messenger 5.0 and install 4.6 or
4.7. For further investigation: start a packet sniffer (eg.g ngrep9 and
analyze the SIP messages (and/or post it here)

regards,
Klaus

 I can't say it's a messenger issue.  Messenger wants a 
 contact list, and to
 show you who is online and offline.  Your phone doesn't do 
 that.  The phone
 talks to SER to see if the person is signed in.  Or does 
 kphone and sipc
 show users signed in?

 I have made exactly the same observation. I treat it as a 
 problem with 
 Messenger as it works fine between two kphone UAs or between sipc and 
 kphone. I'm running ser 0.8.12.

  I have 0.8.1 running on Suse 9.0.  It works great
with my Zultys 
 phone, Polycom IP 600, and the Helmsen agent.  When I try to use 
 Windows Messenger 5.0 I have a slight problem.

 UserA signs in.  UserB signs in, and sees that UserA is online, and 
 there changes the UserA in the contact list on ONLINE.  But UserB 
 never shows as ONLINE on UserA's desktop.  So UserA can't   call UserB.  
  The update never goes to UserA's desktop. 
What am I missing here?
