Cookies problem...please help!

[Guest]

hi! i recently changed my cookies settings but then set them back. now all microsoft web sites (including this one - i'm on a different computer, and hotmail) will not let me sign in thru .NET passport because my cookies are allegedly disabled. now i know they are enabled because that's the way i set them up and other (non .NET passport) web sites that require cookies to be activated allow me to view the content. so, is this some sort of a bug with IE6 and how do i fix it. i have all the latest windows updates. what else is going on? it's definately not a firewall issue either. please help!
