I've had this same problem before, but it was like a year ago. Try these one at a time:
1. Unplug your router. Then replug it back in.
2. Or Reset your router by holding the small button in for a few seconds until the lights blink. If your router is named to something, this may return the name to default.
3. go to command prompt and do ipconfig/release then type ipconfig/renew.
4. Make sure all saved info regarding live messenger sing-in is deleted. Such as remembered email/pass/logs *This is what messed mine up and made my buddy-list invisible last time*
5. If none of these work, then it's your ISP I think. They might be going through some kind of maintenance or something. So, it'll probably start working tomorrow or the next day.
On very rare instances your ports may mess up if there is another program using the same port as live messenger. So mess with port connections if all else fails.
