The problem is the firewall Netbarrier
For Mac OS X:
- Open the NetBarrier application
- Click on the Privacy button
- Click on the Surf tab
- Uncheck 'Brand of my computer and name of my browser' and 'Last Web site
visited'
This should resolve your issue. Hotmail relies on being able to see what
browser you are using, as well as what the last site you visited was, in
order to work properly.
