    I can get in hotmail fine on IE and Firefox. Are you all on the same ISP by any chance? or using the same proxy?
  • Have you checked that you are not blocking cookies or javascript from the Hotmail website?
  • I can't get in using ie6 or firefox! very annoying.

    I'm on NTL with no proxies and can get into yahoo mail and outlook express. It's prob just a problem that will get fixed soon as it seems there are a few people with same problem. I accessed my hotmail at 1.30am this morning perfectly fine but then this morning that had happened so it looks like its a case of wait and see for a while
    Thanx

    I don't know, I can get into my msn on that website but as soon as I click hotmail it asks me to sign in again even though I'm logged in already. Then it doesnt let me in. Its just purely the email its not letting me in. If its really important you read your mail maybe you could download the safer version of firefox then for the time being so you can get in. I think its a nicer browser and its only recently that the securty thing came up but if they have fixed it it could be worth trying you can still keep your explorer too
    same thing, its also only the emails that it wont let me read. i downloaded the new firefox but still no joy. :(

    I remember reading about this problem before. If i remember correctly ( :think: ) i think it seems to happen when a specific hotmail server gets busy, and subsequently all the email accounts relevant to that server can have problems.
