The 'key ports' problem is most likely due to Norton.

Try this to configuring Windows Live Messenger through the Norton Firewall.

Alternatively, disable or remove it.

All of the instances from msn files are allowed (Every single .exe is shown as Allow) (On both firewalls, Norton and Nvidia). When you say disable or remove it, you mean the antivirus?

A firewall isn't the same as an antivirus. An anti virus is protection against files that replicate and or distribute or infect other files. A firewall blocks traffic inbound and outbound.

I know but Norton also has a firewall included

Tbh, Norton uses alot of power to run and really sucks. Try another security suite

Actually, that's my provider's choice (My dad's), haha. So, can't do anything about it. Any other idea for fixing my msn?

WOOHOO! FIXED! After a WHOLE afternoon trying to see what the problem was with a friend, all I had to do was uninstall NVIDIA Firewall (Which he says I don't need because routers got an integrated firewall, plus, I also got Norton's). So, for future reference, if anybody has NVIDIA Firewall installed and is getting this error, uninstall NVIDIA Firewall (Aka NVIDIA Network Assistant) and you'll get no problems!
