I'm assuming you are talking about MSN Messenger here... you weren't very specific.  Messenger may be restricted or blocked on the PC you are for some reason.  If you are trying to connect through a firewall or proxy, it may be blocked and you need the firewall or proxy settings.  If it is not your computer, then the system administrator may have blocked access to your messenger.  You could probably try singing in using the web version of messenger (by going to the messenger web site).  Are you having the same problem with other messenger services (eg. AOL, Yahoo, Trillion, ICQ)?  Messenger services such as Trillion allow you to access other messenger services through one portal.  Otherwise you could try downloading and re-installing the messenger and see if that works.

Here is the deal that I think is happening, when you are trying to log on to your IM, it might be selecting your default connection. Try and do the following thing, might work.\nOn IE, click on tools --> internet options--> Connections.\nOn the connections menu select "Never Dial a connection".\nIf that doesnot work, on the right bottom corner of the screen, there will be a little icon right click on it and select the option which probably will say something like dial on request or something like that. After you have done the settings, you will have to restart the computer to enable the settings to work. \nIf that doesnot help. Please tell me which IM software are you using. I shall try to help

Could be the cache of your Internet browser. Clear the cache and try again. Could be they blocked your IP for any number of reasons. Could be the port that MSN Messenger uses to communicate through has been blocked by your firewall or virus software. Could be the software needs to be uninstalled, reboot the system and reinstall. It could be the BIOS on the mother board is jamming the ports or causing a redirect of ports. Maybe a program or hardware item you've recently added to the system has interfered with MSN Messenger functions. Maybe something around a hundred various "could bes" could be the problem.

It is not your computer, Yahoo put out a non-functional beta version of messenger for some reason. Uninstall it. Get version 7.0 or older (which actually works) from here\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

Depending on each computer and their relevent settings,some people do have trouble with Yahoo Messenger.If you continue to have problems, go to the messenger help site from your launched program and look for your issues there.\n\n            Good Luck!!!!!!!

Well with Yahoo if its at the same time it usually wont let you in , and say s you are signed in on another computer...\nAs for msn I'm not sure unless it simply wont sign you in.\nOther than that I don't know.

Ok My friend, I think you have PC problems, so the first step is uninstall the messenger, after it, clean up your pc, try this online free service from Windows Live \n\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=ideas_wlsc\n\nand make a regular click on FULL SERVICE SCAN button, reboot your PC and try to install the last MSN MESSENGER Version 8\n\nhttp://ideas.live.com/programPage.aspx?versionId=ef051fb5-d20f-41fd-b0c6-06fa1b0445da\n\nHope it work for you.\n\nTake care my friend and good luck\n\nJC

This is what worked with MSN Messenger:\n1. Open up Messenger\n2. Tools > Options\n3. Preferences\n4. Uncheck "Run Windows Messenger when Windows Starts\n\nOpen up Yahoo Messenger and look for something similar

What IM service are you using and do you have a firewall?  Did this suddenly start happening?  Important info.  IF you have a firewall program it maybe blocking it.  If you updated or installed a new IM program you may have to reset-up the profile.  Also, if you have a internet filter program (like Cybersitter)it maybe blocking it.  Let us know and we can help further.

Maybe there might be something wrong.\n\nI think you should go through all the process of getting your message and see if that works again.\n\nGood luck or find help on that site.
