Have you got cookies turned on? Have you also tried clearing out your cache and trying again?

I cannot login to my hotmail account either on a particular computer. The only change I can think of is that I installed MSN Messenger 7.0 beta. The other computer where login is not a problem still have MSN Messenger 6 running. I have deleted all cookies and temp files in Internet Explorer and even uninstall MSN Messenger 7 but still no success. Anybody has any other ideas? The login failure message I get is: ==================================== The .NET Passport service is currently unavailable at this Web site for one of these reasons: • The site may contain an error or be experiencing a problem that affects the .NET Passport service. • The site may not be an official .NET Passport-participating site. You can: • Return to this site later and try to sign in or register again. • Sign in or register for a .NET Passport at another .NET Passport participating site. .NET Passport Site Directory ==================================== Thanks.

I think these hotmail problems are caused by the latest IE/MSN Messenger updates. I was able to get into my hotmail using firefox,(in Linux & Windows), even when Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger could NOT access the hotmail site. I "fixed" the problem by hitting the reset button in the "Internet Options/Security" Tabs for the various levels of Internet Security. Also cleared the "Block all cookies from originating website" list in the privacy report pop-up box. Don't know which of those actions did the trick, but it does work now.
