Hi All,
I Have a Linksys Wireless B Router, and the computer im having this problem with is connected wirelessly. The problem is MSN Messenger's connection. I enabled all the ports i am supposed to, but in the Connections tab, it says this at the bottom..."You are connected to the Internet through a non-UPnP IP restricted NAT" How can i connect msn messenger directly?

I'm not familiar with Linksys products but with my SMC router there's an option to turn UPnP on or off, check to see if there is anything there in your Linksys router. You should make sure that you have it enabled to use some of MSN's features like Sound/Video chats. Also if your computer is behind a firewall you might need to put it outside into a DMZ to get it to work, but on the downside of that it would be a little more vulnerable to attacks. Last thing is to make sure UPnP is installed on your computer; in Add/Remove Windows Components under Networking Services check to see if UPnP is installed. Hope this helps
