There are, by checking the webpage, there seems to be one UDP port
open. Port 123 UDP for NTP and probably some for RealPlayer streaming
and MSN.

Problem is that, for example, using Kopete I can see my girlfriend and
she can see me, however, we cannot see each other at the same time for
some unexplainable reason. I can't understand if this is due to kopete
itself or due to the firewall. Do you think I can use UDP 123 for
something?
