My Messenger is not working on my Mac, can you help fix it?

My Messenger on my Mac stopped working last year, every time I click on it, it says Internet not connected, i have checked the plugs again and again and there's nothing wrong with my internet as I still use Facebook, Outlook and FB Games so there's internet is fine. I have tried to upgrade but nothing is happening and it is very frustrating. Can anyone help solve this for mex


Kind regards

Hmmmm, long shot...


Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...


System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Sys Prefs>Network>highlight the Interface you're using>Advanced>TCP/IP>Configure IPv4: Using DHCP.


If using Wifi, instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


System Preferences>Network>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.


System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
