I have been unable to loging to hotmail for two weeks - I try to go via MSN messenger to check email but get a page with
"Service Unavailable - DNS failure
The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later."

Similar happens after i have entered my user/password at hotmail

I have cleared cache and tried other fixes mention on these pages.

Sys is xp, broadband, netgear router with firewall
