MSN 7.0 over Firewalls

Hello,

I have heard that with MSN 7.0 there is a new way connecting MSN over
firewalls without opening lots of ports for video and audio. Is that right?
What do I really have to open to make things work?

Thx in adv.
Markus

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.
