Re: Day 2 no hotmail mystery

Hi Anonynous,

Yes, I tried every reasonable Microsoft connection. No go. I tried every
reasonable tweaking of my IE and computers' software. No go.

You're right. It is a Charter Communication problem. Some of their servers
in the Midwest are blocking access to Microsoft's highly encripted/certified
secure sites. My Vista computer seemed to get around it all. Usually I don't
panic when this happens because good websites and servers get up and running
within hours if not minutes but this problem is entering day 2 (about 36
hours that I'm aware of.)

Thanks for the suggestions anyways.

Later,

Oscar

Obviously something has gone wrong at your ISP's end who seem to be
blocking hotmail accounts on XP systems. Have you tried using Windows
Live Mail? This free email client from Microsoft can allow you to
access your hotmail account without using the hotmail webpage. I
suggest download it from here:

Day 2. I still cannot get to my Hotmail with my three XP computers but I can
with Vista computer. All are using same wireless connection.

Here's the kicker. If I use my neighbor's wireless signal all four computers
can get to my Hotmail.

Question:

Why can Vista get to my Hotmail and not the XP's?
