Hi,

I'm new to skype so I don't understand completely how it works,  me and my son who lives in Northern Virginia and I live in VA. Beach, we are tying to set-up skype with video on the computer, well I am able to see my self on my camera, but when I try to connect he gets a message that says person can only receive IM messages.
