[Help] Problems with connection

Particularly with connecting to an instant messenger service known as MSN, and thus my email account. For the past few days the service has been unavailable, for whatever reason. In a flash on intuition, I downloaded an update, and it gave me a clue as to what the hell is going on. It's my firewall, in all likelihood, blocking me.
What would the denizens suggest I do?

Hardware or software firewall? Have you given the firewall permission for that application to work (probably only applies to a software firewall, but I had to ask)? Has the app worked before or has it never worked?

I really don't know, sorry.

I've never had to give permission for the app to work, and up until now it has worked perfectly well. I've been using it for over a year now.
