Greetings Andre,
Messenger will first try port 1863 and failing that, will try port 80. However, either port
will also require port 443 for SSL authentication. So unless the router is blocking web
access, I doubt it's merely "blocking the port".
Without further information, the only other real option is to connect through a proxy you do
have access to, perhaps one your ISP provides, one a friend could put up for you or even
google up some free one.
