What settings do you change in the Firewall? Are you using Win Vista firewall or a third part firewall?

IF YOU USE WIN VISTA FIREWALL
You have necessary to go in the Vista Security Center, then in the Windows Firewall section (you find the icon of Security Center in your traybar). Click then in Change Settings.. In Exceptions tab (I have italian version, so I don't know who is the correct translation) you have to add Windows Live Messenger at the exceptions list or add the oversight to the Windows Live Messenger and also Windows Live Messenger (phone) voices.
