Yeah I've had this problem also. :rolleyes:
I sent an error report to MSN and got an e-mail response straight away.The response said they had checked the acct. and found no problems. I followed their advice which was basically to delete all cookies, and clear Int.Explorer cache and see if that solved the problem. It did !
I use Mozilla Firefox these days and found I kept getting directed to a page after logging out of my Hotmail acct. saying I wasn't "logged out" , so i've enabled all MSN sites to open in Internet Explorer. This fixed the second problem. There are multiple reasons for the problems I've read above, so one fix isn't going to suit all unfortunately.

Very interesting. Gotta check this out! :cheesy:

I had the same problem with 2 freshly built XP boxes. Also using Netgear wireless hub. Fixed by setting MTU to 1492. Used a utility called tzcb10.exe. I can't remember where I got it. Probably ZDNET or CNET.

Worked for me after struggling for hours.

The solution that you proposed
worked perfrectly for me.

bah! I can't download the fixer.. If anyone else can, could you please email it to me? subscript3[AT]cavok.com ???

Thanks a bunch,

Tanks a bunch folks! I've got the fixer.. Unfortunately it didn't solve my login problems this go around, and alas the laptop has gone away, so I cannot further troubleshoot...


Just to add to the volumes of info here.. MSN Messenger 7.5 has a nifty looking connection troubleshooter built in.. Though it didn't resolve the problem for me, it did indicate 'ports' as a problem area. This leads me to believe that there is/was some sort of firewalling program installed that's still blocking ports (possibly secure connection ports) as this computer won't login to any secure sites..

Best of luck to all!

At last someone having the same problem i can't connect to any secure sites either. Do you know of any way to check what is blocking it. I am a complete beginner with computers so anything unusual scares me to death.

I have had many problems with secure sites, most of all with Hotmail. But ironically only in Internet Explorer.

I'm probably gonna be slated for this, but I suggest using firefox.

Someone on page one mention problems with it not signing out of sites, I get that page, but it seems to cause me no difficulties at all.

Have fun

Get Firefox

i cant, not even to my msn or hotmail or skype. i dont knw wats wrong with it, how can i fix it?????????

This sounds like the hotmail ISP block problem. It happens like this:

1. Someone sends spoofed spam emails using your ISP as the return address.

2. A Hotmail user sick of the spam reports the email to Hotmail's automated spam reporting system.

3. Hotmail blocks access to your ISP as a result.

4. It stays blocked until someone reports that they can't access their account, and Hotmail unblocks the ISP.

I just had to post twice, because DaniWeb erroneously told me I posted an empty page.

Then it started moving the page around as I was trying to post. Get the chimps out of the control room!
