Where is your LAN? Is it at work or at home? If it is your work (company) LAN, ask your Network / Security administrator if they block messenger traffic.

If it's your home network, do you have a router or your cable/dsl is connected directly to your PC? If it's directly connected, you may have your NIC card (or WAN Miniport) connection firewalled. If you have the router, check it's configuration, probably you need to enable TCP/UDP ports in the router to permit messenger.

Good luck,
