Windows Live Messenger ports and URLS

If you're having trouble connecting with Windows Live Messenger (WLM, or formerly called MSN Messenger), it could be a firewall or proxy has not been configured to let it through. Refer to this MS article for the ports and URLS used by WLM:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927847

The list cuts both ways, of course. Syadmins can also use the info to block WLM, or block certain WLM features such as File Transfers.
