Problems with Hotmail

Seem to have problems when I'm trying to check my e-mails in Hotmail, always get the server can't be found page, a couple of refreshes normally seem to work, don't get this on any other PCs or with any other pages, FireFox or IE doesn't make a difference get the error with both.

I think it must be some sort of virus or spyware but Spy-Bot and Norton don't seem to find anything???

Don't know if it helps but when I do sign out it goes to www.start.com rather then www.msn.co.uk!?

I don't think its a Malware/Spyware problem looking at that page it goes to

its , quote from The MSN site:-

This is the place to play with new MSN technologies, look at prototypes, and peek behind the scenes at some of our new ideas

http://sandbox.msn.com/

MSN continually seeks to innovate in order to make the web faster, more organized, and personal for consumers. Start.com is one of many incubation projects to achieve this goal. It is an experimental project that launched with start.com/1 in early March 2005. Start.com/2 launched a few weeks later and /3 on June 3.

Spy-Bot doesn't seem to find anything though, BUT I still have a feeling it might be spyware though or something similar, it's odd that it's only with Hotmail - very annoying!

I'll try the stuff recommended on that page anyway.

We had the identical problem on different computers when travelling away from home. Couldn't fix it so opened a Yahoo! account instead.

Browntoa I am on the new Hotmail Beta version (like Gmail) so maybe that explains why it now goes through to the different site rather then msn. Doesn't explain the other issue of course!
