Some Websites are working... some aren't... Help?

[Jman28]

I've been out of town for a couple months. I get back, my computer was off, as I left it. I know that my roomate used it, but probably did nothing out of the ordinary.

Now, I can go to 2+2, and many websites. I cannot go to hotmail.com but I CAN go to www.hotmail.com (weird?) and I cannot get past the login page there.

I can't connect to AIM, but I can use PartyPoker.

I have done scans with Symantec and Adaware, and everything is fine. Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
