Have you tried turning off your firewall completely to test it?

 

[urbanfox]

So it's not the Mic, it's your connection/security settings.

Port forwarding:

msn messenger needs: 1863,6901,6891-6900 (TCP) & 6901 (UDP)


(I think...)

please say you've gone to volume control and checked that your microphone isn't muted.

What firewall are you using.

 

[Ragnar]

if the mic works fine and MSN is ok... then it is probably your connection related to a difference in firewall config.
