cookie problem

[Guest]

When trying to log on to hotmail.com I get a message saying cookies are not
enabled. I have changed my cookie settings to allow all with still no luck.
Any suggestions? Running WinXP Pro

Seems to be another one of those GD temporary Hotmail problems, judging from
recent posts, PB. You might try...

Suggest disabling any firewall until cookies are working correctly.

Delete all hotmail, msn and passport cookies, then...

IE Tools > Options > Privacy > Sites > type in

hotmail.com
msn.com
passport.net

and Allow Cookies for each domain, in turn.

Make certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.
