I am working from a MacBookPro and running the internet through a wireless connection.
However, I can surf the net with ease but whenever I try to log in to my Hotmail or yahoo account I get an Error message. The passwords are correct as I can view it on a pc, just not my mac!
Not being able to sign in also applies to checkouts or User accounts on web sites such as Play.com or Amazon.
Have you tried using a different browser, like Firefox or Opera?
You might also want to try going to System Preferences->Network. Select your wireless adapter, and you should be able to see under "TCP/IP" the IP address of your router (usually 192.168.x.x). Under "DNS Servers", add this IP address, apply your settings, and try again.
Thanks for the tip on the browser but I have tried using Firefox but had no joy!
However, I did what you suggested regarding adding the DNS server and it worked, so thanks.
I went to 'Preferences>Network>TCIP>DNS Server and added 212.135.1.36.
As I said, this worked but then when I re-booted my mac I again couldn't access my internet accounts.
Since you have posted this suggesttion I have also been told to try and run my system Install discs but again had no joy!
I have also opened my hotmail account on another Mac with no problems so this means it it definetely a setting or problem with my machine. I have looked in System preferences for anything I thing would cause this but I'm not too sure I'm technical enough.
Any other thoughts would be appriciated......
Thanks
