First off, if you install a host based firewall such as ZoneAlarm, it will monitor and log everything you just 
requested.

As for blocking, you don't want to block specific ports, always deny things by default when you can (rather than permit 
by default and block specific things). With a host based firewall set to high, it will drop all traffic by default. 
Then whenever you have an application such as MSN that tries to communicate over the internet you can set it to prompt 
you for whether to allow it or not.
