I try to open port 1863 and 1836 but the camera via msn still not work. So i open Hi-port in the outgoing firewall, now it's work but i don't know it'll has any problem in the future or not.

I ran into this same problem and wanted to share my current setup that is working and where I got the information from.  My current settings for allowing Microsoft Live Messenger are:

ALLOW
TCP+UDP/80
TCP+UDP/443
TCP+UDP/1863
TCP+UDP/3389
TCP+UDP/5000:65535

I based this list off of the information found here:
