Default Lazy Remote Desktop Q & A
Scenario--

Can I remote desktop when invited through MSN Messenger? If so would invite allow me past their Router? Or would they still have to configure router for this? And assuming I can, can I access their router settings to Portforward?

Just use a program like Team Viewer

Easier and simpler for Remote Desktop

If you are trying to help them then they could start remote assistance and I believe that you can send the invite through messenger. And yes that will get you past the router and into the system to help them out. And yes you should be able to open their browser and put in the router address and such just as if you are there.

It definitely isn't reliable though...

I've had many times where it would refuse to connect. No harm in trying though!
