Windows Live Messenger Errors with Windows Vista Business

When ever I try to log on to Windows Live Messenger I get an error that says "Windows Live Messenger could not log you in. Your firewall might be blocking it, yada... yada..."

Well, my firewall is not blocking WLM, in or out. I have everything set the way it should be. My IT team and I have tried everything we know. Short of turning in a Microsoft Help ticket. This problem only occurs on vista bus. I have Ultimate on my personal LT. and it works fine.

Does anyone have a clue what the problem is?

One simple thing to check as I had exactly the same issue. check your data and year specifically. Best guess is your year is set wrong
