For some reason i can no longer access microsoft sites.
The browser just searches and gives a gateway timeout
eventually. these are not passport restricted sites. I
cannot even access www.microsoft.com. what internet
settings might be causeing this?
 
It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also 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.
