Wireless Internet & IM Clients

Ever since going wireless, I am not able to transfer files with other users
on Yahoo, MSN Messenger, AIM or ICQ. I'm assuming the router (LinkSys) has
ports or something blocked for these types of programs although when I use
P2P programs the problem does not exist.

Is there anyway to free these ports so they dont block file transfers with
IM clients?

Thanks.

Yep. Go to the Linksys KnowledgeBase and do a search on "ICQ", "MSN", etc.

Well I guess the knowledge base site isn't working. I have tried for 30
minutes to get it to load and nada...

There is only documentation on how to configure ICQ, nothing about Yahoo,
MSN or AIM. I don't even use ICQ.
