Question How do I configure the router to work with MSN Messenger?

Answer Here is all the info we have on MSN Messenger: MSN Messenger NOTE: Shut off any personal firewall programs such as BlackIce, ZoneAlarm, etc. Ports 6891-6900 enable File send, Port 6901 is for voice communications Allows Voice, PC to Phone, Messages, and Full File transfer capabilities. IN TCP 6891 - 6900 IN TCP 1863 IN UDP 1863 IN UDP 5190 IN UDP 6901 IN TCP 6901 Try setting 6891,6900, and 6901 as triggers. Then set the public ports to 1863,5190-6901. If that does not work, set the incoming ports to 1-64535 (note: this opens a WIDE range of ports) and add in 5190 and 1863 as triggers. You can also try putting your machine in the DMZ (go into Misc. Items). Make sure that you have upgraded the firmware as well.
