It uses port 589 and 1683 by default, but the port can be changed.
You could also block this host:
gateway.moswest.msn.net

Could i have abit of help how to block a port or host.

If you have a router, that would be the easiest way.
To block a host, add it to your HOSTS file like this
127.0.0.1 gateway.moswest.msn.net

Ok tx but this is what im not sure where would i find the host files?

[brendandonhu]

What version of Windows?

[skywatcher39]

xp with a router,the other computer has xp and is on dial up moden.

[brendandonhu]

Then the hosts file is in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

[skywatcher39]

so if i paste 127.0.0.1 gateway.moswest.msn.net into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC that will stop msn form starting?
