I wouldn't know about ping and dns. Try with Ubuntu to eliminate software/OS related problems.

You ping Hotmail IP or hotmail.com. If com, DNS.

Use nslookup to verify dns is working and ping to check the route to hotmail. Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
