hehe, that's the problem. You have to open the needed ports in the (firewall of the) router. They're 6890 to 6899.. but i'm not sure. I'd suggest you to search them. There's a thread where all the ports needed by messenger are detailed.
However, if you router supports UPnP, you may want to enable it. Doing that you won't need to open any port.
