Router and MSN Messenger

I have a new Microlink dLan ADSL Modem Router. Everythings works well. Only
MSN Messenger doesn't.
I can login, but further nothing. Who can help me ?

Ich habe ein neuer "Microlink dLan ADSL Moden Router". Alles wirkt
ausgezeichnet. Nur nicht MSN Messenger ! Ich kann einloggen (und sehen wer
online is oder nicht) aber weiter passiert nichts. Wer hilft ?

System = WIN 98
Provider = Tiscali (Belgium)

Thanks.

Do some Google searches on "MSN Messenger" to find the ports you need to forward from the
Router to your PC.

I've never had to forward ports to get MSN Messenger to work. However, I'm
willing to bet that he simply needs to adjust or disable the firewall in the
router.
