audio conversation- firewall set up

[Luc]

Hi I tried to use the audio with messenger and it said My
computer/network/ was not set up to allow it. Well I
Checked to make sure My MacFee Firewall allowed all
communications with messenger. It does. Then I went to
add messenger to port forwarding in my router software
setup utility. I tried with starting port 6901 ending
port 6891. It said to that eht ending port had to be
greater than the starting so I went 6891-6900 and when
that didn`t work I tried 6900-6901. It still doesn`t
work. What Can I do to make it work?

Hi Luc,

Messenger hasn't used port 6901 for voice since version 3. The ports used for voice are 5004
through 65535 (UDP) try doing those instead.
