AirPort Extreme/Time Capsule work with MSN, Skype?

[ramb27]

I am interested in getting a Time Capsule for Time Machine backups. Also our current Netgear wireless g router is on its last legs.

I have heard MSN Messenger and Skype do not work with AirPort Extreme/Time Capsule without complex workarounds because it does not support UPnP and even then ureliable. Is this true? We use MSN and Skype on both Leopard and Win XP as well as the Philips VOIP841 Skype phone extensively.

Appreciate if someone can confirm.

TIA.

Bump!

Anyone using Skype and MSN Messenger for Mac behind an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule?

Thanks zer0tails. At least I know one out two is working well now.

Anyone else with MSN experience behind Time Capsule?

Skype works great with my airport extreme. However, QoS would be helpful for the times when my roommate is torrenting

MSN Messenger works fine through Time Capsule too.

Thank you both skorpien and hookem12387. Glad to find out bot Skype and MSN work without problems.
