MSN and Hotmail Login Problems

  #1  
Aug 20th, 2003
I know I'm properly connected to the internet and there aren't any problems there however everytime I try to log in to my hotmail account an error page shows up saying this page cannot be displayed. No matter how many times I try to log in the error page always comes up. As for my messenger, it says that I am currently NOT connected to the .NET Messenging service. I assume it's because it can't detect my default connection and I don't have a proxy server. How can I connected to my messenger and hotmail account?

"Bugeyes"... Perhaps it's just a strange coincidence that I too am experiencing this problem, but coincidence or not it's causing me a considerable amount of frustration. Starting at some point yesterday my MSN messenger (Beta 6.0) has refused to allow me any form of access, giving me the typical message about being not connected to the internet or signed into my .NET account... I've tried everything I know. Hotmail works only occasionally and other Microsoft related sites either load slowly or refuse to load at all... Anyone got any suggestions or ideas?

Well, MSN Messenger 6 Final is out. Consider upgrading to a released version. Beta software is "use at your own risk" and may have problems. Your issue might have been fixed in the final release..

bugeyes - I reccomend trying to clear your internet cache, and your cookies (and then, restarting your browser). As for the Messenger issue, try manually signing on (I think its File -> Sign on as..) and report back :-).

Well, I hate for this to sound funny, but are you sure you are using the correct username and password? I believe the Microsoft Passport Login System uses case sensitive passwords; meaning pASSword is different from Password.

I am 100% positive that I am using the right password, but regarding the situation and how it seemed more or less hopeless I downloaded trillian, it's a program that allows you to use msn messenger, aim, yahoo messenger and icq all at the same time, and the pasword i was using on my msn messenger works just fine of trillian

I don't think it's related with whether you have the latest msn messenger 6.0 or not.Please contact your ISP and ask them whether you need to use a proxy server or not and change the setting from your messengers options.As for your hotmail,hotmail accesibility has nothing to do with you having the latest msn messenger or not.Most possibly,it's your cookies...just check @internet options@ and look for anything about cookies and change that setting and see the result...
