spam when I try to use Voice, and I've tried looking if there is a known problem with voice when you are behind a router, and a site said the SL Voice client uses ports anywhere from 12000-15999, but I'm not about to open all of those ports, so does anyone know the specific ports that it uses?

This happens to me too, any time you move between parcels or sims even sitting in a sim by yourself sometimes, on off on off on off.

According to the Voice FAQ:

The following ports need to be reachable through any firewall infrastructure:


Port 21002 - TCP - for voice control signals
Ports 12000-13000 - UDP - for voice media
Port 80/443 - TCP - for Web server
Ports 5060 or 5062 - UDP - for voice control signals

If ports 12000-13000 are blocked you will see a lot of Connecting... messages - typically about 8 attempts everytime you change your region.
