Hello,
My computer is behind a wireless router. I need to unblock the port for
MSN messanger video.
But I don't know the port number.
Currently whenever I want to use the video option of the MSN I unblock
all the ports, which is not very safe.
Thanks for your help

Greetings,

Unfortunately it's not that simple, MSN Messenger uses a random port for video and failing
that, uses an outgoing relay.

However, for your reference, the ports used are 5004 through 65535 UDP.
