Well, do you have any other firewalls?

Anyways, here's a post I found on another forum:

1. To configure Windows Live Messenger through the most common firewalls, visit http://spaces.msn.com/messenger-support and look for steps under "How to enable Windows Live Messenger through a Firewall" on how to enable Windows Live Messenger through the most common firewalls. Click the appropriate link based on the firewall you have installed on your computer.

2. If you have any other firewall that is not listed, see the firewall manufacturer's documentation or contact your firewall manufacturer to configure Messenger. To find the MSN Messenger executable file, click "Start", Click "Run", type "%systemdrive%\program Files\MSN Messenger\MSNMSGR.exe", and then click "OK".

3. Determine what version of Windows Live Messenger is installed on the computer, and then upgrade if it is required:
a. Visit the following Web site:
http://spaces.msn.com/messenger-support/bl...!3772.entry
b. Determine whether you are running the latest version. Download the latest version, if it is necessary.

4. Remove any third-party add-ons to Windows Live Messenger, such as Messenger Plus or Smiley Central

This is what they said was the solution
