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.
