I've just installed a d-link 524 wireless router, web access works, but I cannot sign in to MSN (both host and client computer). I have uPnP enabled, and I've tried setting up firewall rules (w/ the ports msn uses), but it still doesn't work... What am I doing wrong?

it you have a DI-524, and drill down to: Open Ports Apps -> Chat Messenger etc -> MSN If you talk to DLink, thank them for turning their knowledgebase into an ordeal process.
