Which port to open for Messenger?

Hi, I have a Belkin modem router that is blocking the ports for file sharing and audio on Messenger.

The UPnP function is enabled, and the firewall is disabled, but it still doesn't work.

If anyone has a tip, it would be appreciated.

Bye.

    Hello,
    For messaging, MSN Messenger uses TCP port 1863. For file transfers, it uses TCP ports 6891 to 6900 for 10 simultaneous transfers. For voice, MSN Messenger uses TCP port 6901 to establish the connection and then uses UDP port 6901 for voice exchange.

    Sure, thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try even though I have little hope. I think it's the router and the UPnP function that are acting up.

    See you, bye.
