Hotmail problems?
 

Can't access my email- the page when you enter your details comes up and it's "loading" the page, but nothing is coming up. Messenger is fine. Any ideas what to do? Changed proxy but still no luck.

sign in somewhere else and follow links to get to your hotmail.
I sometimes get this, it may just be because there is a lot of traffic on the server your hotmail resides on.
or it could be a proxy issue.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

I had a strange problem with my msn yesterday - it wouldn't let me in cos it said I had tried to access it with the wrong password too many times.


Does that mean someone is trying to get into my hotmail?

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

I had a phishing site up the other day prompting me to sign in with my .net passport p/w.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

No problem here :)

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Yep.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Not working for me either, nor is Incredimail picking up Hotmail Messages either. :(

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

wot annoys me is you recieve a message saying you have mail from hotmail admin then you cant open the damm thing :))

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

I think it depends which server your account is on. Cos 2 of my accounts work, one doesnt

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Both me and my wife have had problems signing into hotmail all week i have found at certain times of the day there is that much traffic at there end you can't get on.
And lets not all forget hotmail is part of windows and as such has released 2 updates to the service as i know of so it will have more bugs in it than a rainforest

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Could be that someone has a very similar hotmail username to yours, and is trying to use your name to login without realising it.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Hotmail still isnt working for me, on either of my accounts. Its getting very annoying now as it hasent been working all day!

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Yey, my thread is the sole survivor! lol
Still not hotmail here. It's annoying me now cos I can see the message headers via MSN Messenger :mad:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

My usual trick of re-starting the computer hasn't worked either :mis:

Upside is, I don't get any "junk" mail :D :tu:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Earlier, I noticed that I wasn't even able to log into MSN Messenger - just kept on informing me that it couldn't log me on "at this time".

Came back to the PC about 5 minutes later and tried again - it worked!!

I now have two emails sitting waiting on me - problem is (as many have said previously) I cant access them!!

Once again, we have to bare with Hotmail until they sort out their Server problems!! Hope they are quick about it - I remember similar problems last year and it took them almost a week to solve it!!

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

So everyone comes to rely on services like hotmail, which needs users to generate advertising revenue that pays for the service. However, if users get the service for free, do they have any grounds for complaint that the free service has failed?

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

If your using a genuine Microsoft xp OS you have paid for it, so complain away.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

this is really strange cos my son and i have .co.uk hotmail address and ours works fine but my hubby has a .com hotmail addy and he hasnt been able to get into his all day!! but we are all on the same pc!! :Yikes:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

My .co.uk works no problem, my son on my network has a .com he can't get in now. :shrug:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Must be a .com problem then, oh well nothing I haven't come across before and no doubt will again. :shrug:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Same here .co.uk works fine. :)

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

I dont think so, as ive got quite a few friends whos hotmail is working perfectly fine and there using a .com address?! :(

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Area dependent, IE server they/you are on.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Must be problems somewhere down the line, my hotmail.com email not working either. :dozey:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Ok

One solution I have found to this is to change the number in the address bar

mine is "http://by104fd.bay104"

at the begining, try changine the number (104 in this case) to another number,

My g/f hotmail was 101, which didnt work, she changed that to 103 and it worked

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Cheers that works perfectly! :D

A side note - once its loaded once, using 103 isnetad of 101 (in my case) it now seems to laod and work fine with the 101 in the address...? :confused:

At least it works! :)

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Mine just come back!

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

mine doesnt have numbers like that in the address bar :confused:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Sorry on a 1st post i'd be wary of following instructions from that without a more savvy member looking at it for security reasons, no disrespect here.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

It should do, once everything has "loaded", when you get the page cannot be displayed page, you should see th numbers in the address bar! :)

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

No offense taken, in the current climate i would be surprised if anyone didnt have concerns.

By all means get more adminny people to check it out

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Ive tried it and it works fine, looks as if its starting to come back without changing the numbers though! :) I think all it does is change the server you are connecting to

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Seems to be working now.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Yup, working here now too...

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Just been at my Grans in Grimsby and I cannot connect to it. Signed her up to Gmail to save any problems with her Hotmail and NTL email.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Yep seems to be working again, very slowly though.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

All fine here now.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Poor you... :angel:

On topic- it has been down. We got messaged at work saying "if anyone rings with Hotmail problems it's Hotmail and their PCs/internet connection are fine"

If it's working now they've sorted it.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

:tu: All back up and running now :D

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Cant sign into Hotmail, Messenger is fine though.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Hotmail is fine here

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Dammit that hotmail problem has emerged here in norwich again :mad:

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Hotmail fine and working here. Can even get it on my mobile. ;)

Msn
 

Anyone else having trouble with hotmail today? It seems to open at a glacial pace, if at all and it's impossible access it other than via messenger and even that is failing now. MSN groups don't seem to open properly either and I'm wondering if it's a local problem or more nationwide. My pc seems ok, all other sites working fine.

Re: Msn
 

Yes tonight my MSN has been signing in and out all night lets hope they are just working on the servers and not that MSN has reached melt down.

Re: Msn
 

Yep sorry but there are some people here http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=35523;)

Re: Msn
 

Same problems here in birkenhead, must be a problem with hotmails servers.

Re: Msn
 

Are any of you in msn groups? If so are you experiencing the same difficulties as in hotmail?

Re: Msn
 

I've been getting my MSN mail via Thunderbird fine all day. And been connnected to messenger, with no interuptions

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Am i suffering from day ja vu :confused:

Re: Msn
 

get yahoo messenger

Re: Msn
 

Hotmail has been up and down nearly all day today. Its gone completly crazy.

Re: Hotmail problems?
 

Its been absolute crazyness today and doesnt seem to be working stable as yet.

Re: [Merged] Hotmail, MSN problems
 

Well now I can get into it and send and receive e mails, but when I hit Sign Out it no longer takes me to msn's homepage. It takes me to the Microsoft Net Passport "sign in" screen. This has only just started happening, is anyone else experiencing this? All a bit strange really.

Re: [Merged] Hotmail, MSN problems
 

Dont sighn in it may be phishing <<< spell check

Re: [Merged] Hotmail, MSN problems
 

Well I did sign in using it, and it took me to an MSN accounts page and from there I went to customer services so it seems genuine. Is nobody else getting this page when they sign out then?

Re: Msn
 

:Yikes: YIM is only slightly better than AOL and ICQ.
