What happens when you try to access it? Does http://207.46.225.60 work? That's one of the IPs for Microsoft's site.

it comes up with the "webpage unavailable" which really doesnt happen to a huge corporations webpage very often, and YES! the ip address worked im slightly miffed?

Open up c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in Notepad - do you have any entries regarding Microsoft.com there?

What ISP are you both on? What does a traceroute to www.microsoft.com give you?

If it works you don't have a problem

nellie131, what about the other question I asked?
While you're at it, take a look here, run the test, and quote the MTU value it gives. Are you using a router or what?
