Hello again,
Do these ports(for audio converstion) have some kind of
set values so that I could open them myself? I am kind of
happy with the ICF so far. If there is any set value for
the ports for audio converstion in that msn messenger sets
using my administrator previleges, then maybe it is better
to open only those ports and leave them open, but not all
the others. Any one has any idea what are those ports?
Thank you,
Jai
