I had the same problem, using a brand new laptop pc with xp home sp2.
This has Norton and Spy bot running on it.
I could not access Hotmail, msn or Microsoft web pages when sharing my internt connection from another pc (win 2000 server which was not affected)
I think it is something to do with SP2 on home trying to share an internet connection.
I have tried all of the suggestions on this page and none of them have fixed the problem.
When i pluged my adsl modem directly into the laptop it works fine?
I have fixed the problem by getingmyself an adsl router. Now all of my pc's access the router to connect to the internet. All can access any page.
