Hi,

As you may know, MSN requires upnp for video chat/voice chat to happen, I'm currently using borderware, almost all (heck, maybe all) eal4+ certified firewalls do not support upnp because its a security loophole.

however, the alternative being to open the entire udp 5004-65535 range according to microsoft's documentation...

does anyone have any suggestions?

either an alternative video conferencing tool or a solution to the firewall problem?
