Make sure you have told Zone Alarm to let MSN Messenger act as a server. If you're not sure, just delete all references to MSN Messenger in Zone Alarm's program list then fire up Messenger. When ZA asks the usual questions about allowing Messenger out on the net, be sure to answer "yes" to the "act as a server" question.
