The past couple days I have had problems getting into Hotmail using Internet Explorer but when I tried Firefox it went right through so you may want to try a different browser just to see if it helps.

Who is your email provider and how are you trying to access it? What happens when you try to access it? Are there any error messages?

Clear out all the temporary internet files, cookies and history.

lotsofish, yahoo is the provider when I log in it tells me I am logged in but only the header is there and it tells me Its not responding.

Upnorth,I tried that its not working thanks anyway.

I assume you have already restarted your PC? Do other webpages show up OK? What you described is usually a webpaged that is cached on your PC and is out of date. This is a stretch but try restarting your router/modem and the one the ISP provided. Then restart your PC. That would force all devices to update the servers that are used for name resolution.

Upnorth, all other webpages work great, reset modem and restarted pc same thing nada nil I am stumped .This is ODD

I know yahoo changed their URL a while back. Messed things up for a few weeks. If you are getting there by way of book mark, try going to just yahoo's home page and then trying their links.

Upnorth, I don't know what happen but my e-mail just started working on Christmas day go figure that was strange .

Good to hear that it is working. Probably some strange DNS error either in your PC or you ISP. DNS is what resolves a name to an IP address so when you type in a name on the address line the PC and all the routers know where to send your request.

my hypothesis is that could have been a run time error or a script error...and his system updated itself which corrected the problem.
