Correction: In my message I mentioned that:

Looking in Tools/Options/Connection I have the following message:

You are connected to the Internet through a non-UPnP symmetric NAT
(Administrator)

But after checking this morning this is what is displayed:

Looking in Tools/Options/Connection I have the following message:

You are connected to the Internet through a UPnP restricted NAT
(Administrator)

I failed to mention that I'm running McAfee Firewall 4.0 but wether the
Firewall is on or off none of the listed features in MSN Messenger works.
