So, could firewall be one of the reasons?
Indeed, try to sign in without it, I wouldn't recomened disableing it as a permanant fix though. If it works you know it's a problem with the firewall.
Also you could try uninstalling MSN Messenger (Start > Control Panel > Add\Remove Programs > MSN Messenger > Change\Remove) then reboot your computer and download and install it again.
Is your version of MSN Messenger patched in anyway?
