By now I think every trick in the book has been tried. Turn off all firewalls (no, I won't give you my IP address), uninstall Norton's craptastic firewall/antivirus/thingamajig. Test with testmyvoip.com - got good results. Toggle voice off and on. TP to a voice-unenabled sim, toggle voice. Relog. Toggle voice off and on. Relog. Reboot. Relog. Head. Desk. Head. Desk.

I had voice working perfectly well on a computer with XP, but with Vista I can't get it to work. (My OS of choice is Linux, but there's no sign of a voice client yet, and the Lindens seem to be evading the question of when (or indeed whether) one is coming.)

Does Voice even work on Vista?

Works fine for me.
