 SOLVED:

 I found this solution on Apple forums. Please read below for the quoted
 solution and the source. Hope it helps :) Thanks everyone for your help.

 ''"try editing your /etc/hosts removing the last, bad entries.

 something that sounds like "messenger.live...."

 just to compare, here is my hosts file, working perfectly with every live
 services, msn account on adium included.

 ##

    1. Host Database

 #

    1. localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    2. when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

 ##
 127.0.0.1 localhost
 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
 ::1 localhost
 fe80::1%lo0 localhost

 do not copy&past this on your terminal, just edit yours 'till it sounds
 like that one.

 command line is: sudo nano /etc/hosts

 then, crtl+x quits the application and pressing Y save changes:
 instructions are on the baseline of the console terminal.

 if you are afraid of using terminal and don't feel safe about this, you
 can make a healty back-up of the hosts file you're going to edit."''
