When I ping www.hotmail.com on MSDOS command prompt I get
three

Request timed out
Request timed out
Request timed out

Then when I try to get to http://207.68.171.233 I get to
the signin screen for hotmail and when I try to re-login
I get the page cannot be displayed message.

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

If you did not create the file, then you may have parasites, or you are
using a web accelerator program that would be causing this problem.
