Cant acces any hotmail pages

[Volt8ge]

Here's a strange one.. I cannot access Hotmail from any links or web pages.
e.g. hotmail.com, live login etc.

These are the ONLY pages that I can't access.
I am using both Win XP on a PC and an Apple I-book.
I am using both IE7 and Firefox and Safari

All Internet Options: security/Privacy/Connections etc have been reset to
default.
All Firewall settings have been reset to default
I have emptied the cache/temp folders, clearing all history, cookies, web
info on both machines.
I have reset my Netgear Router back to manufacturer settings (although there
were no hardware firewall restrictions).

My ISP is Virgin Cable (UK) and I have rebooted the cable moden. I also
contacted them to see if they had barred access from their service - they had
not. They just got me to repeat all of the above but to no avail.

I would be very interested to hear if anyone has any ideas. Many thanks.

Probably just a temporary bump in the road in the rollout of the updated
Windows Live services for now:

See if things improve in a day or two.
