having problems getting to hotmail

[sad_b0i]

when i log on it says something like
"protocol failed"

anyone else experiencing this?

[demetrius]

I get there just fine. What browser are you using? Microsoft recently revamped HotMail and changed the look and functionality. I have no problems with Mozilla 0.9.x, but with Opera 5.0 I get a 'Browser Limitations' warning telling me I will be limited in what I can do if I sign in using my current browser. I can still sign in and access my email (junk mail) but cant delete messages and a few other things dont work as well.

sorry about lack of info...always forgetting that

anywho...
using mandrake 8 and konqueror...with shared DSL connection going through a proxy server running analogX...

Konqueror 2.1.1 and Mozilla 0.9.3 are logging in fine for me... I'd guess it has something to do with your shared net connection.

Oh and I'm also using MDK 8

I can get there fine with Opera 5 and 'Drake 8. The only problem I have is that I have to actually look at an e-mail to delete it as the checkbox isn't recognized. Life's just so hard ya know?

i get in fine with mozilla, no functionality lost.

that "browser limitation" message is usually bogus; i get it because i only give very limited access to cookies.

Make sure that port 443 is open, thats what port the Secure Socket Layer is on, and hotmail uses that....good luck.
