Passport and hotmail are both known to get flakey at times. A friend was
having trouble with Passport this weekend but this would not explain why
only limited accounts on your system cannot access. In fact, I can't think
of any reason for that unless there's a setting in a third party firewall,
or software for monitoring/limiting kids on the internet involved. Perhaps
antivirus protection that blocks scripts at a website? Hotmail will drop
accounts if they have not been used in a while but that doesn't seem to
apply here? May want to check with hotmail tech support to see what they
have to suggest.
