Firewall

I have MSN Messenger V9b, and Norton IS Firewall 2003

If I use audio, the remote listener cannot hear me unless I disable Norton
Firewll; but I can hear him.

Does anyone know which protocol i need to unblock so that audio will work
with the firewall enabled. eg ICMP etc?

TIA

You need to go to symantec's website (makers of NIS2003): they have tons of
articles explaining how to open ports on your firewall so that msn
messenger works.
However, I would suggest allowing msn messenger access to tcp and udp from
1025-65535 (i.e. dynamic ports). Do not open all of these for any
application: make sure the firewall rule states msn messenger.
Even then, you seriously need to read up on how firewalls work: that would
help you quite a bit.
Also, search microsoft's pages: they have a couple explaining what ports
their msn messenger needs in order to use certain features.

Greetings Peter,

Just setting Messenger into the 'Permit All' setting should allow voice to work properly.

Why not just tell him to disable his firewall? That's not a good idea.
Only give applications access to the ports they need.
