A long time ago, this was a good thing. With the advent of spamming, this is no longer the case.
I'd recommend everyone in the family get an account on the same Messaging service (Y!M, MSN, AIM, GTalk, etc). This is simpler and more secure.

But if you trust your router firewall, have a look here:

You'll need to re-enable the Messenger Service via
Run->Services.msc
Right Click Messenger -> Properties
Start-up Type: Manual
Repeat for all computers.

Good luck. You WILL need it.
