Video Conference with Firewall

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I use Windows Messenger for video conversations.
I use Win XP SP2 Firewall, and EZ Firewall.
Whenever they (the firewalls) are active, the video does
not work. When I turn them off, then the video works.
How can I configure the firewalls to allow messenger to
work with video?

XP can be configured to allow Messenger. Go to the Control Panel and Open
the Windows Firewall and click the Exceptions and set to ALLOW.

As for EZ Firewall, I have no idea how to configure.

It's been 12 days and nobody reponds to this thread? Were are the MVP's. I
can't get win messenger to work behind win firewall, even with win mess
exempted. I have to turn firewall off. HELP PLEASE! Are there ports to open?
I've search and googled with no answers.
