In your account screen on the advanced tab you should have:
Server: messenger.hotmail.com
Port: 1863
These are standard and you do not need to alter these.

On the basic tab you just need to select MSN as the protocol and the
username would be the full email address you have signed up with MSN with.

In the preferences the STUN server should be:
stunserver.org
and you should have Autodetect IP address ticked.  If the stunserver is
not working just leave it blank, you do not need to connect.

If you have problems still, let me know the error message you are
getting, or if you like I can post some screenshots to show you.
