Cannot access hotmail from office network

[Alex Shi]

We have an office network in which all four computers share a DSL
connection on a WindowsXP box. The other three are two XPs and
one ME. The problem is, from within the LAN all the three computers
are unable to access Hotmail. It will always be stuck at
https://loginet.passord.com/... with a blank page and for a few minutes
it says server cannot be accessed. But the gateway computer can
access hotmail without any problem.

Unlikely but just maybe....
