Windows Messenger, SP2 Problem

I use Windows Messenger to voice chat and transfer files with a friend of mine over the internet. We both have the same model of Linksys router (BEFSR41). Previous to installing SP2, we had no problem fowarding the proper ports to use the voice chat and file transfer features behind our routers. Since we have both upgraded to SP2, we can no longer connect for a voice chat or file transfer. Does anyone have any idea why? Thanks in advance.

I have never had any luck with MSN Messenger. Windows messenger always seemed to work with ease. By the way, I've tried MSN Messenger since I've upgraded to sp2. It doesn't work either.
I have already disabled the windows firewall.
