Hi Jonathan, My son is setting up a new "XP Home" computer; he wants to use
the XP Firewall and Windows Messenger Voice so he has opened 13 of the 14
ports mentioned in your webpage. However Port 3389 gives the message "The
port number is already used by another entry. Please enter a unique port
number".
Can you give any advice?

Greetings Derek,

All those ports (including 3389) can be ignored except 6891-6900 (for file transfer), none of
those ports have anything to do with voice conversations (Windows Messenger will
automatically open the required ports for voice conversations in the firewall automatically).
