Paul,
For voice communication ensure that outgoing TCP connections from port
6901 are enabled. Also enable UDP packets where either the source or the
destination port is 6901. I don't all those udp ports need to be opened,
so I'd close those and try these. You shouldn't have any problems. For
chatting, enable outgoing tcp connections to TCP port 1863. Note this
will only allow voice/chatting on msn. If you want file transfers, you'd
then have to enable both incoming and outgoing TCP connections to
6891-6900 range of TCP ports. This enables each sender to send 10 files
at a time. Just openeing port 6891 will allow each user one send
connection.
Hope this helps
