Adding key ports for MSN Messenger?

[pedtrou]

Hi, well, recently I downloaded and installed an upgrade for MSN Messenger
Plus. Everything was fine until it tried logging back in. It would report
an error and when I tried to trouble it said that there might be an improper
firewall setting. I was wondering if opening up a port would make it work,
and if so, how to accomplish that.

thanks in advance for any help.

Don't know much about Plus, but I can tell you that file transfer uses ports
6891 - 6900
