I'm using a linksys router here, and vaguely remember a discussion here
about a particular port needing to be opened in order for MSN transfers to
work. Can anyone tell me what that port is, and whether it needs to be
TCP,
UDP, or both.

FWIW:
Special Application Port  List from Practically Networked ..
           MSN Messenger ..
(Watch Out! Opens a wide port range!)
NOTE: Shut off any personal firewall programs such as
               BlackIce, ZoneAlarm, etc.
Ports 6891-6900 enable File send, Port 6901 is for voice
communications.

Allows Voice, PC to Phone, Messages, and Full File
transfer capabilities. Thnx to Brad King & Bill Finch Jr.
