There are so many reasons why that could happen,
First, I would like to know if it is resolving the address correctly,,
or does it not find anything when you type in www.hotmail.com. can you get there from MSN.com's home page?
you may want to have the clients type into the browser's address bar "64.4.53.7" or "64.4.54.7" (without the quotes) to see what kind of issue it is..
second, how do you connect to the internet?
through a dialup? or are you connected directly? do you have your own DNS server?
third, it could be something as simple as a cache or HOSTS flushing...
Let me know what happened please..
Good Luck,

How are you sharing the internet connection between the users? Ishare, wingate, MS internet sharing? Need more info. Make sure that you have http and https and ftp on the right port on each computer.
