  • Answer:

    First make sure your firewall isn't blocking messenger. If that's not the case...go to Messenger preferences click Connection...make sure it is set at No Proxies and at the bottom be sure your Internet connection is set properly..(dial up...etc..) If none of that works and you have Windows firewall enabled..try disabling it and logging in.
