Hotmail has become the biggest disaster on the Internet with the .net passport compliance. I finally forced my girlfriend to switch to Yahoo. Starting about two months ago, I couldn't get into Hotmail from my computer. I had to terminal to another server and get on from that box. Do yourself a favor, when you get back in, get your address book and get the hell out of there and don't ever look back.

It's just busy, or they are doing maintenance on the fly. Sign off and sign back on again.

Something similar- theres some setting on the network that fouls things up(net passport also)
Im guessing your on a network at work or something. It will probably work on your home standalone computer.(clean cookies/temp files)
My network would work some days others not- probably something to do with them rebooting.
Ask your network people they may want to know what the heck your doing on hotmail. I dont recommend yahoo either- its become a horror.
