"unable to log on to Hotmail. Message says "Connection was refused when attempting to contact login.passport.com. Also when doing transactions on the internet the page comes "Cannot find server". It takes me up to that point and then the error message appears.Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it? i am able to access Hotmail from other computers, but not mine. I have Firefox downloaded and installed, plus Spysweeper also installed. Is this causing the connection problem? I have Windows XP."

I have the exact same error message pop up too. I have been calling MSN for the last two days with no resolution. I can't access my hotmail/msn email account. I too had Firefox, and Windows XP. It was working fine before, then all of a sudden it stopped. It was fairly recent that I loaded and installed Mozilla Firefox on my computer. Was this the source of the problem? I am hoping someone may be able to help me, and the person above me.
