This is sometimes caused by the cache left on Internet Explorer. If your internet's working fine, then follow these steps. Otherwise, skip the bullet-points and read below.

    * Close MSN Messenger
    * Open Internet Explorer. Set it to work offline (File -> Work Offline)
    * Close Internet Explorer and reopen it. Now set it to work online (File -> Work Offline [Untick]).
    * Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> type "cmd" and hit enter)
    * Type "ipconfig /flushdns". You should recieve a message that your DNS has been successfully flushed.
    * You should now be able to connect to MSN Messenger. Open MSN and see if the problem is fixed. If it is, stop reading!

If the problem is not yet fixed, it's likely you've got a problem with your internet connection as the error actually says. To do this, you may want to:

    * Reboot your router or modem (if it's a USB modem, try unplugging and plugging it back in).
    * Rebooting your computer

Rebooting your computer, router and modem will fix it for certain, however this takes time. You may want to try the Internet Explorer trick first.
