Vista + connecting to certain sites + Live messenger = problem

Hi.

I installed Vista Ultimate on a second PC - everything seems to work (for
now) - except:
- Live Messenger just connects and connects but never signes in.
- I cannot connect to certain sites - like www.microsoft.com and a few
others - although the majority of them work.

Thanx for your help.
