Sound need uPnP NAT FW.
If you are running Windows XP with SP2 turn on the uPnP check in the
exception tab of the WFW. (also check MSN Messenger and Messenger checked
would not hurt)

If running a 3rd party FW you must open addition ports for Messenger or MSN
Messenger.
I think 1900 is the uPnP port
OUT 1860 tcp,1863 tcp , 6891-6900 tcp and other UDP ports
IN 1860 tcp
Search the google for ports , MSN Messenger online help, etc
Different ports allow additional MSN Messenger functions.
