Difficult to say without knowing your firewall, however most firewalls generate a log of what failed, you should look at this find out what part of MSN is being blocked, and add a rule for it.

A long shot, but have you got the right system date on your PC? If your date is incorrect MSN won't sign in...

Is it a hardware firewall (ie built into an adsl router) or is it a software firewall? In each case which version of either hardware or software are you using as it will vary depending on this.
