Yeh, this is a problem with windows messenger service (not MSN messenger), which some companies tend to use maliciously to send ads to people through open ports. It's only really meant for local network's important messages.
according to this article he can either block port 139 if he has a firewall, or just disable Windows Messenger Service, as the article describes, seeing as hes not likely to need it.

I believe you can host through a firewall if you just open up the right ports - just don't know what they are.

M3ntal says:
The ports you need are 6667 (for W:A) or 6677 (for WWP) as they are the relevant irc ports, and also ports 17010, 17011 and 17012 for the game hosting (i believe only 1 of these is needed in most cases, but best to be sure). Open them for both TCP and UDP packets.
