Apparently MSN messenger 6 goes through NAT. Haven't tried it myself because the other party also has to have it. We have a router with NAT here and most people found a solution using Yahoo messenger between two communicators. Again both have to use Yahoo. It's free.

Sorry for a slightly off topic question....
The Setup (at Home):
Win2000 OS MSN Messenger all updated
NetGear FR114P
Problem: When my wife uses MSN Messenger, just the typing part), it all works. However, when she tried to initiate a audio conversation, it always fail. I have sniffed for the various ports that have to be opened (open both way and all protocols). I open the ports in the firewall. However, audio conversations still do not work.
Question: Has anyone been able to make MSN Messenger work with an audio conversation through a NAT based firewall?
At work, our firewall (Cisco) blocks almost everything. However, MSN Messenger works with audio (tested only once).
