Default Running services on network

These are dynamic port mappings created by Messenger Client.
They are normal.

Default Running services on network

Greetings,

Yes, this is Messenger automatically adding the ports required for voice/video to be
established through the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), this is a function of Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP). However, they should be enabled and if they're not, please 'Remove'
each one, then close (right-click the Messenger icon and choose Exit) and then restart
Messenger.

Also, the Internet Connection Firewall will block file transfers from being successful (the
ports do not automatically open for file transfer), in order to establish file transfers with
the ICF enabled you just need to open the appropriate ports. To do so, click Start, then
click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections
then click Network Connections. Right click your connection, then click Properties. For
cable modem/broadband users, your connection will usually be called Local Area Connection.
For dialup, it should be the name of your Internet Service Provider. Click the Advanced Tab,
verify the Internet Connection Firewall is turned on. Then click the Settings tab. Click
the add button and then in the Service Settings, type in the following information. For
Description enter MSN Connection for Name or IP address enter 127.0.0.1, for both External
and Internal ports enter 1863. Verify TCP is selected and click OK. Now you need to repeat
the last step but changing the ports to 5060, 1503, 6891, 6892, 6893, 6894, 6895, 6896, 6897,
6898, 6899, 6900. Yes, 13 (including the first one) will now be selected.

Then click the 'Remote Desktop' entry (that was there before you started) and click Edit.
Enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP, and click OK (can't change anything else). Make sure all 14 (the
13 you added + Remote Desktop) connections are selected then click OK. For screenshots on
this procedure, see
