You won’t be able to initiate any video/audio or file transfers from behind a linux NATed firewall. MSN has changed its method considerably. The initiator of the connection actually tells the receiver to pull (there is no more push). The initial communication is done through the exchange of http commands via the MSN main server. Inside this http command is your internal IP address and port. Unless you have application level filtering and NATing you won’t be able to change this information as it is done from with in the MSN client.
