Greetings,
Yes, this is a known problem with MSN Messenger 7 final and some router devices. If you're
not into tinkering with the router configuration (the option to turn off to fix this will be
under SPI/Stateful Packet Inspection or Block WAN Requests), you can simply uninstall MSN
Messenger 7 and go back to the previous version:

or use of the betas:

Hopefully a newer build containing the fix for this will be available soon, which will allow
you to use v7 without altering the router configuration.
