Hi, Got a laptop with XP home edition, running IE6 that will allow you to open www.hotmail.com, but one you enter the username and password, it redirects to login.live.com in the usual way, but shows page cannot be displyed. All other web sites work OK
What i have done:
Cleared Cache & Cookies & contents of %TEMP% Directory
System Restore to the earliest point
Ran Spybot S&D, and adaware se personal fixed any problems found
Full AV check with bit defender
System restore point created at this point
Installed Firefox 2.0 but that will not locate the internet.
Upgraded to IE7, and that would not get on the internet, so restored back to the previous restore point from 2 steps above.

j4jack,
1. Clear your DNS cache. Go to Start > Run and type CMD
and hit OK.
At the command prompt, type ipconfig /flushDNS
and hit OK.
2. If no joy, check if your PC is blocking the site. Do a search for HOSTS file and open it with an editor like Notepad. Delete any line that has the blocked site in it.
HOSTS file is located in
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVER
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS
It is a hidden file. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.
3. If you are using Internet Explorer, check if the site is restricted or blocked. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security. Hightlight Restricted Sites and see if the blocked site is located there.
Also under Content tab > Content Advisor, check if the site is restricted there. Remove it.
More information.... it turns out that the user cannot get to ANY secure website ie httpS://
DNS has been flushed, hosts file looks normal
