I got a question for the microsoft experts, or network experts.......... I live in an apartment complex that shares a large Broadband connection... (comes with the student type apartments here in tallah***ee) here's the problem, right now, for the second time since i moved in........ No one can connect to www.hotmail.com but every other webpage in the world works. It's not just my apartment, it's the whole complex, so is it our network firewall not talking with msn? or is it a virus that someone puts out into every single person that shares this network?
My first guess is firewall. Try going to msn.com and click on the hotmail link there. That may byp*** the hotmail main site and take you to Microsofts generic "p***port" login page.
It could also be that your provider has been blacklisted for sending too much spam to hotmail accounts. That can happen also and it will affect all users of that provider to whomever blocks you. I work for a large publishing company and we were falsely accused of spamming once and none of our subscribers could receive e-mail from us (even though they PAID for the subscription) and many of them couldn't get to our websites either. Just an idea... Stacey
alright, thanks for the help, i think both of you could be right. It's so strange and i can just use hotmail at school library but it's alot harder to send do***ents to people from someone else's computer. thankyou
As is usually the case. Many campus-type accounts get blacklisted from a web domain because someone there tried to apply what they learned in 'applied computer sciences, or Networking 101, etc, etc. It only tkes one retard to try to telnet to the wrong box, or to do it long enough, and one of the co-admins of the domain will g-line the entire origin to prevent it from happeining again at a different apartment, or a library computer. (These computers can have different IP Addresses or even separate MAC addresses to a single IP Address. My wife and I both use the same IP address even though our favorite RP game says we can't. Its because we are on different MAC addresses from the same IP. Have I confused you? I'm a little over estimated myself.. Also, you can try 'gating'. This is a technique that involves a proxy server from a offsite network. This would have to be set up by somone on the remote site. Try googling for a free proxy service. They might make you sign up with a username and p***word and that would then subscribe you to spam, but that is why I have 9 email accounts. YL By the way, Uh, this is my first post here. I was kinda saving it for the right topic. I hope this hasn't offended.
