 RE: I can't seem to sign into Windows Live Messenger.
 did you try this as suggested by felu: 
 
Go to Window Directory > Windows > system32 > drivers > etc . After that you'll find a hosts file without an extension. Open it in a next editor like notepad. Go to the last line and put the following lines - 
 
    65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com 
    65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net 
 
 
Restart Messenger and you're done . 
 
Moreover in about a day remove these so that your messenger won't cause problems when the server is up 
 
It worked for me...
