What's this Cookies problem with Internet Explorer under XP?

[P Tandukar]

Hello,

I am sharing Internet using Allegrosurf Proxy Server 4.4.0.0 across a small
Windows XP (7 client) network for the past 8 months. Network was running
fine, but recently two of my clients started to show the following error
message whenever I try login to hotmail "Your web browser is set to disable
cookies". But settings for cookies are alright;

I tried the following:

(1) Updated IE with latest patch
(2) Reset IE to its default settings
(3) Added Hotmail to Trusted list of websites, but still no success.

Please note that, I'm not experiencing any problem with other websites like
Yahoo, Lycos etc., only HOTMAIL is showing this error message.

By the way my configuration is as follows:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version: 5.1.2600 Build 2600
Internet Explorer Version 6.0.2600.0000 Build 62600


Please tell me why this is happening and how to rectify it.

Thanking you,
Pasa

In the past week there have been fifty (50) or more separate posts about
this problem in the IE6.Browser newsgroup alone (http://snurl.com/15mq).
I've replied to many of them. Please review previous posts for the fix.
