Has anyone had trouble accessing their Hotmail account? The past 3 days I've had nothing but time outs. I've tried Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome browsers, turned off Firewall. even tried a Ping and a tracert, both of which timed out as well. Just wondering if I'm the only one. I have no other problems accessing other websites.

assuming you are running a Windows OS;

Delete your cookies.

Bring up a command line and run 'ipconfig /flushdns'

Then try it again.

You might reboot your router if you are using one as well.

Thanks for the help.

I unplugged routers, modem, cleared cookies-cache last night before bed. All is well this afternoon on accessing Hotmail. I'll have to remember that dnsflush as well for later reference.
