MSN Messenger & Norton Personal Firewall

I cannot sign in to MSN Messenger 7.0 with Norton Personal Firewall 2003
active.
If I disable Firewall I can sign in to messenger, but as soon as I enable
firewall, I lose my messenger connection.
This is only happening after a re format, it used to work perfectly ok before.
Thanks in advance
