This worked for me:

Shutdown Messenger
Open IE, Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings
Clear all checkboxes
Start Messenger and sign in

Hope it helps!

Greetings Simon,

Yes, if you're setup to use some sort of proxy, Messenger will actually attempt to make use
of this; so by turning this off, you may solve the problem.
