MSN 7.0 over Firewalls

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

Greetings Markus,

It still uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), ports 5004 through 65535. However, if this
fails, it falls back to a relay server. If you're not blocking outgoing connections, it
should just "work" in this manner.
