firewall on my MSN audio conversation
 
hello,

I installed a updated MSN Messenger I have no problem with chat & transferring files but if I used the audio conversation it always ended, I cannot establish the audio connection.

Some says this prob happens because of my firewall....i have ipchains as my firewall & allow the ports used by msn audio (6901) but still same prob as I connect. I even tried to flush my ipchains but still the same. Can u please heck this if this is right, I inserted this script on my ipchains:

-A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 5004:65535 -j ACCEPT
-A input -p udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 5004:65535 -j ACCEPT


(MSN told that ports 5004-65535 should be open)
(MSN used ports are 6901 & 6801)

Can you please give me the right script for my ipchains for this.

or does anybody have any ideas how to resolve my problem.

Thank you.

is it possible for you to use iptables instead of ipchains??

No, I can't change it if I will have to change it I need to install upgraded version of redhat.

Is there any way you could still help me using the ipchains?
