It's probably been blocked by the college.

Yep, like dilli says, it's been blocked at the firewall level. MSN messenger works over port 1863 (TCP outgoing), and it's extremely likely that your friendly Sys Admin have blocked that port.

The web version, however, runs over port 80, which of course is the standard http port.
