In the control panel, "Security center" says that the firewall is on.
However, in "Firewall, " it says it is off! Obviously a conflict and it may
explain why I cannot connect to hotmail. I can go anywhere else on the net
BUT there. I went to Network Settings in control panel and turned off the
firewall under advanced settings. Didn't fix the problem.
 
Having the firewall on or off should not in any way affect your connecting
to Hotmail. Something else is probably wrong.
 
Are you blocking cookies to hotmail?
is it on the blocked sites list in IE?

Do you have a third party firewall, some firewalls XP2 will pcik up, so the
security centre may say firewal on, and xp firewall will say off. But like
the previous response says this shouldnt stop yu accessing the hotmail site,
unless it is blocked somehow, through firewall reservations
