MSN blocked behind Astaro - working port numbers?

pheidippides
My Astaro is blocking MSN to the outside world. I've done a bit of research, came up with this interesting article:
http://www.itreviews.co.uk/forum/2855

I can't believe that MSN service would require such a broad range of open UDP ports? What a potential security breach...

So, instead of applying this remedy, anyone figured out how to do this the Astaro way? As in, what port number(s) did you use when setting-up packet filter rules for allowing MSN Instant Messenger?

Thanks...
Paul

    All you need for basic MSN functionality is port 1863 open from the internal to external network, and this allows basic communication, and also seems to allow file sharing.

    I havn't tried using the voice features through ASL yet.

    Alternatively, you can set msn to use the http proxy on Astaro.

    i also opened UDP1863 for chat, and UDP 6891:6900 for file transfers

    for videos, you need to open all the ports tho  
    don't know for audio, it's prolly the same
