Jonathan,

There were about 4, msmgs entries.... 15599 UDP, 8959 TCP, 21994 TCP and
12788 UDP. I have no idea what those figures mean!

[Jonathan Kay [MVP]]

Hi,

Yes, I'm still here (albeit behind slightly). This is exactly what's supposed to be
happening, this is Messenger and UPnP automatically opening and forwarding the proper ports
for voice/video to be successful (at least on your end).

I would encourage you to uninstall NIS (temporarily) and see if you can get it to work with
it out of the way (if you can, then reinstall NIS). Because it appears that ICS is working
correctly.
