You can't connect to any Microsoft (or at least any related to Messenger) sites in your browser? And Messenger itself (or the installer for it) can't connect either?

Seems something in your network is blocking sites. It could be security software on your PC (firewall / anti virus / anti malware / hosts file). But it could also be your router. If somebody else is providing the internet for you (dorm room etc.) it could be them too.
Finish the problem

Maybe Microsoft has banned him?

Would that be more logical?

spitfiremk1a, open the hosts file with notepad that is on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and paste its content here.

It has more sense that some malware has modified his hosts file than Microsoft banning him... :rolleyes:

No, they wouldn't ban you from also simply browsing Microsoft pages. And if you account is banned you get a pretty specific error.
