Tell me exactly what didn't work and I'll see if I can fix it.

OK, i was having htis same problem. I am running a DSL connection and have a linksys wireless router for the network. I entered my setup for the router and changed the settings for internet connection type to Automatic Config - DHCP. I know your supposed to change it to PPPoE so u can enter your login and pass. My DSL modem however, allows me to enter this into it, and it automatically logs on, so there is no need to enter it into the router.
I know this may not be the best solution, but it works. I am able to log into hotmail now from my network. Good luck.

Please note that I also made sure to update the DNS server addresses as well. I was able to confirm those server addresses by accessing the Westell DSL Modem using 192.168.1.254. First time user of a forum and this worked great! Thanks!!!
Davey Jones & Traemill were right on, as it seems certain login-type sites sense the router and the pc both trying to access together and freeze. I'm not very network saavy, but figured the standard install instructions didn't have me change to PPPoE. After entering "192.168.1.254" into browser window, saw the Westell set to DCHP and set about to change to PPPoE, specifically "bridged ethernet" mode. BellSouth FastAccess sites weren't very helpful, but did learn Westell Wirespeed IS a router itself, and probably only needed a WAP for the wireless connection (oh well). The step-by-step solution came from Broadband.com, link below. Fairly simply to reset the modem if you follow the instructions. If anyone's symptoms seem similar, truly hope this helps. Again, great thread helped piece the puzzle together, awesome job!! :cheesy:

I had to post my question to them through the customer care blank you fill in when their generically produced answers to your questions are unsatisfactory. It will be months until I get a reply.
I did not have luck increasing the mtu to 1500. Curiously, my WAN setting uses a dynamic IP address. Although I have a DSL modem, when I choose the PPPoE option, the internet will not open at all.
Does anyone have the yahoo.com port range? Has anyone with the inaccessible hotmail/yahoo.com mail been able to resolve his problem?
I just bought a D-link DI624 router, and came up with the same problem. I spent some time reading this forum, and another, and hit a working solution. Like you, the PPPoe option was not working, had to use the Dynamic setting. I entered the "1492" in the MTU space, without changing anything else, and bam!, hotmail is up and running. I was so excited, I registered on this site to share a succesful idea, and thank those that suggested it could be the MTU number. So thanks, and I hope this solution works for everyone else.
Hello, Im from MEXICO and have an INFINITUM conection. The link did solve completely the problem. THANKS A LOT!
I have a d-link DI 524 router and I WAS having exactly the same problem as others in this thread. The weird thing is that my girlfriend and I have matching vostro laptops, everything the same other than my processor is 2.2G where as her's is 1.6G. Hotmail and such would work fine from my laptop but never from hers.
To sum it up though changing the MTU from 1500 (what it seemed to have defaulted to) to 1492 worked like a charm.
for my router the setting were changed by logging into it from the browser, navigating to the home>WAN page, changing the value in the MTU box from 1500 to 1492 and clicking apply.
Thanks so much to all those who in this thread who helped.
