Hi Chris,
When I set my firewall as you said below it still wouldn't allow me to log
on to MSN. The only way I get it to work is by setting the any rule on all
the criteria:
Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway
Schedule Description
* * * * * *
Only problem with this is then I lose out on my load balancing rule.

It appears to use TCP port 1863.

You just need to setup a rule on your LAN interface allowing TCP 1863
specifying the gateway of the WAN you wish to use for it. Make sure you
put that rule above any other rules that would match that traffic or the
rule won't work (first match wins).
Advanced Outbound NAT is not required and should not be used unless you
have another reason for using it. Outbound NAT rules are automatically
generated for all WANs (unless you use AON), and only firewall rules can
direct traffic out a specific WAN.
