ok the ports u need to open are: 2074 2075 2076. 4074 4075 4076. make sure those ports are using the udp protocol or just to be safe do what I did and allow them for tcp as well. and to enter the url for speakup reflecter u go to new connection then type the following line. lwl.braille.uwo.ca:4074 note the coalon between the url and the port number. hth On Sun, 23 Dec 2001, Amanda Lee wrote: > Okay, I did try the older dsound.dll files but noticed there's a .vxd file > so I copied the newer versions along with the dsound.dll into the speakfre > directory and it works now but the menus aren't spoken but can get those > from the pulldown okay.
