yahoo messenger/msn messenger port #s

[HorizonSeeker]

Does anyone know what port number I need to open for yahoo and msn messenger to be able to use the voice chat featuer? I have my pc plugged into a SMC barricade router and the firewall is blocking the connection to the voice server for these chat apps.

TIA for help.

For MSN Messenger v6, it requires UPnP-enabled routers. SMC routers do not ship with UPnP, but you can download and install newer firmware, which worked great with my 2404. YMMV, depending on your model. Downloads are located here.

Thanks, I did the firmware update, but still cannot get to the voice chat without it being disconnected as soon as I get an accept from the other party.

I have unplugged the router and using the connection directly from the modem w/ XP firewall. this will let me use voice chat, but I can only have one pc connected.

If I remember correctly, you also have to go into Advanced Settings and manually enable UPnP
