Interesting.  I am just noticed that hotmail (and other sites that 
require a login) are not working from my wife's windows laptop on my 
home network (linux NAT K12ltsp 4.0.x) since sometime yesterday.  What 
is interesting is that firefox, going through my squidguard proxy works 
fine.  While IE, using the proxy or not, is not working for these sites 
only.

I haven't looked much farther than that, because she can use firefox and 
I don't really care if hotmail works.

If I find anything, I'll let you know.
