Does anybody know on which port msn operates, i hope it isn't 80 btw, cause i would like to be able to block it sometimes on my routing firewall

thats probs defeatest as now MSN now has web messenger where no client or specified port is needed so maby a quick modification of the HOSTS file to add the msn web messenger signup page is in order _http://webmessenger.msn.com/
needs to be added to block connections to that site
