Can't Access MSM, Xbox Live, anything MS

[michaeln31]

Hi,

I'm a new idnet customer and I'm unable to get through to anything microsoft.
I have tried via a netgear DG834G and there is no blocking and the even with the firewall disabled still no luck.

I have also tried this via DLink DSL-300T via Airport Extreame.

Can anyone help me?

Michael

I have also done a trace rt.

That doesn't work- I can still access all Microsoft sites...

...but I'm no longer forced to!

(Also, there's a little dig at Microsoft inside of tmsnc which I discovered the other day... )
