What you need is a proxy server for Windows Messenger. I did a quick web search and found ReAIM, but it doesn't look like it supports voice chat. you might try some web searches for a proxy server.

maybe if you use a socks5 proxy in your linux box, and then point your users to it.<br />
<br />
check this servers and see which one it's better for you. then setup your clients.<br />

No luck. I think this problem is related to the Upnp protocol<br />

Thanks for you help, I've gone with UPnP support under Linux (in Smoothwall 2) and that looks like it should sort it.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how I can go about getting Windows Messenger 4.7 to open voice chats successfully from behind my Linux firewall (Smoothwall).<br />
<br />
I understand Windows Messenger is using a huge range of random ports, so I don't want to forward them all. Also, there's a few machines behine the NAT which would all like to use voice from time to time.<br />
<br />
Can anyone suggest a module I can add to the Smoothwall to get it to work?<br />
<br />
Thanks.
