your Outlook version is?
With different Outlook version you have different supported functions.
Have a look on this sites for some general information:
"Outlook 2007 Known Issues": (search for "hotmail")
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/known_issues.htm
"Cannot connect to Hotmail via Outlook 2007 "
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=513673&SiteID=17
"Error message when you synchronize a Hotmail account in Outlook 2002,
Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007:
"The server could not be found"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292870/en-us
Check also your settings:
"How to configure Outlook to work with Hotmail" The first point is:
"How to configure a Hotmail account in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 on
Windows Vista"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287424/en-us
Maybe it helps.

I get this too and it just started after a reboot. I can use Outlook
2003 on my other machines to connect without a problem, but not on my
laptop. I have tried the patch at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904942/en-us
but it did not work for me. I have also added hotmail.com, msn.com
and live.com to my trusted sites and no difference. Microsoft will
not help either...ARGH!
I just logged onto my problem machine with a different account and it
works fine, so this is a profile issue. If you don't mind
transferring your settings into a new account, it should work.
