I *finaly* got my bro's computer to access the net through mine.

And hes happy. Except, in order to get him off of my computer once and for all he needs to be able to access Hotmail - and it fails on login every time. I figure its something to do with the secure link needed for login. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Both machines are running win98 with a 100BaseT (overkill I know) lan between them. Mine has an AOL connection through 56K modem. His has mine as a gateway and uses Freeserve DNS settings since I happen to know them. Far as I can see he should be able to get in no problem.

Oh, and just to make my job harder he wants to be able to us MSN messenger as well. I just *know* thats going to work perfectly first time...
