Trouble accessing site

We've got a machine that's running XP and is having a strange problem.
Whenever we try to reach the Hotmail page sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't. This is in an office where we can go to any other computer and
it will always access Hotmail. We can actually take a laptop, hook up the
same network cable as the problem computer and it will always access
Hotmail. I'm just confused why sometimes the page will work and sometimes
it won't.

If I go to the command prompt and ping www.hotmail.com it will reply but IE
won't reach the site. Anyone have a suggestion what I might look for?

Thanks!!!
 
Sorry - I should have mentioned that I've already tried that and it didn't
make any difference at all.

Thanks!
 
My next guess would be some corrupt entry in AutoComplete. I would clear the
passwords saved there and try again. (IE, tools menu, "Delete Browsing
History", "Delete Passwords")
 
I tried your suggestion and this also did not work. I'm confused what's
going on here. Sometimes it won't even let us get to the login page...we
just get the default error page.
