Hotmail problem
Bit stumped.
Background:
Apartment with wireless/4 port router/ADSL modem on broadband. 3 PCs all working OK (2 x XP and 1 x Linux) and working perfectly on internet - including Hotmail.
Build new PC (Shuttle SN25P) and load software. Connected via Cat5 cable.
Works fine for everything except Hotmail. After start up it opens Hotmail once, slowly, but won´t open any emails. After the first time I get the network not found screen (Hotmail only, it opens any other site just fine.) Reboot, opens once etc etc...
Thought it might be a firewall problem. Disabled NVidia hardware firewall and ZoneAlarm. No change.
Uninstalled AV and Adaware software, no change.
Thought it might be a browser problem. Downloaded and tried Opera. No change.
Reformatted drive and installed everyhting from scratch. No change.
Installed wireless module and connect using WAP. No change.
ISP DNS IP addresses (2) are in the router and work with the other machines and all other sites.
Stumped. Ideas?

Hotmail have recently made some changes to the way they use Javascripts. Try deleting Java, clear out the cache and reinstall Java. That wroked for me when I kept getting "Done with errors on page" message and could not open any emails.
