Tomk Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 ah hang on Administrator/User Action Required To enable voice and video communications with Windows Messenger through a non-UPnP firewall, configure the firewall to allow incoming traffic on UDP ports 5004 – 65535. For other purposes, enable the following ports: • File Transfer: 6891 (to allow 10 simultaneous file transfers open ports 6891 through 6900) • Application and Whiteboard Sharing: 1503 • Remote Assistance: 3389 so am i supposed to enable thousands of ports on my router when im supposed to config each port seperatly ? that will take years !
