1 Strange Problem!! Help!!

[Slipen]

I've connected my 2 pc's.. internet is working fine, both are running Windows XP .. but i am unable to use the MSN MESSENGER on the other PC.

I am able to use the internet on the PC on which cable modem is connected, but the second pc is just not working good with msn messenger. I can surf most of the websites but msn sites are also not opening.


Any help? What to do?

What is the setup- Router, Hubs? Are you using any software firewalls (ie Norton Internet Security, ZoneAlarm) - I would disable those to start isolating the problem.

There are no routers or hubs, i am using 2 lan cards only. And also there is no firewall or antivirus software installed on any of the pc.

What to do?
