I recently aquired a new router, and while it works fine for the most part, I can't seem to connect to msn messenger.
For some odd reason, the msn.com page doesn't work either, so I'm wondering, can someone tell me which ports msn uses so i can open 'em?

I don't know much about ports and routers, mainly because I don't have one, but this site might be able to help.

I know little about routers, it wasn't cheap in terms of money, but quality wise I have no idea.
It's a Netgear DG834 by the way

Update:
Now it seems to be working. Thing is, i resetted it to factory defaults and this time Msn worked without the need to open any ports, just like you said it should, Orpheus. Damn I hate routers..
Anyways, thanks to everyone who responded
