I use Windows Messenger 5.0.0482 for video conversations.
I use Win XP SP2 Firewall. Whenever the firewall is
active, the video does not work on pc. When I turn it
off, then the video works. I have Win.Mess. set to
exemption in firewall settings.

What port would I open to ensure success?
Do I have to close this port after video session is
finished?
Can I use ZoneAlarm free version instead? How?
