Very peticular hotmail problem

There's a very strange thing going on with our network lately, I can no longer access hotmail.com or msn.com from mine or my sisters computer, but when I go to hotmail.com from any wired computer it works fine (the router is a wireless/router/switch combo, so the wired and the wireless and wired computers use the same router thus, it is a WRT54G with firmware 2.02.2 I know the latest is 2.02.7 but that one just fixed some xBox stuff and since I do not have an xBox I will not flash that one. I do not know for how long I have the problem, I only noticed it recently, but it cant be longer than a month, and I have not changed anything in my setup since then, it's a real mystery what's going on :/

the strange part is that it thus only happens on the wirelessly connected computers in my house and only on hotmail.com or msn.com, every other site works fine. and hotmail.com and msn.com work just fine on any wired computer.

if anyone has any idea whats going on it'd be much help.

Thanks in advance.
 
the problem is "fixed" kind of, when we disable the proxy server from IE's settings MSN etc works, it's very strange that only MSN etc has trouble with it, and the ISP proxy really speeds up browsing ... well, maybe it'll get fixe someday
 
I have no idea why that would be the case, but could you put *.msn and *.hotmail in the 'exceptions' box where you tell IE what your proxy server is?
 
no, because the MSN messenger does not see that, I could care less not having access to those sites, but the msn messenger is something I DO use (trough trillian, I cant stand MS MSN messenger) and that one uses the proxy whenever it is set in internet settings, I tried using proxy only for HTTP and nothing else, but appearently msn uses that :/ the strange thing is that it's very recent, my sister, mom and dad had the same problems, and it started about three days ago, maybe my ISP has msn blocked off the proxy or something.
