Greetings Chris,
Unles the WRT54G has support for Messenger file transfer (as an ALG built-in), upgrading to
MSN Messenger 6.x will allow you to send file transfers.
I think however the biggest benefit in this scenario is that MSN Messenger 6.x allows you to
expand your video window (as shown here:

In Windows Messenger 4.7, the video window is a set size and quite small (176 x 144).
MSN Messenger 6.2 actually has two video modes (both of which are size expandable), a
"Webcam" functionality (which gives you the best quality and works on all Windows versions
that MSN Messenger 6.x installs on) and "Video Conference" (which is backwards compatible
with Windows Messenger 4.7 and only works on XP).
