Can't accept cookies

[+++Bobby \O\+++]

In IE options, I tried setting my slider to accept all cookies - but that
doesn't work (I can't access Hotmail). I must have inadvertently set
something else to block cookies. Can anyone tell me what it might be?
NOTE: I have a firewall installed. Thanks.........

The firewall might have a setting or an option for cookies.
Change it to unblock incoming cookies.

IE Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites > type in

hotmail.com
msn.com
passport.net

and Allow Cookies for each domain, in turn.

Suggest disabling any firewall until cookies are working correctly. Make
certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.
