all of the computers connected in our linksys wrt54g version 5 router here at home can not access www.hotmail.com and can not connect to windows live messenger. i tried turning off the firewalls (bitdefender firewall and windows firewall) of one of our computers but it still won't connect. any suggestions? waiting for ur answer. thanks!

I just got into hotmail...Maybe they were down earlier?

Might try pulling the power cord from the router for five minutes.
