[Guest]

I have hotmail for my email and I am having trouble opening links from my
email and also opening dowloads. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ginny,

Do you have PPPoE per chance?

If that's not it, analyse the problem. From a command window:
1) Ping www.hotmail.com.
2) Ping 207.68.171.233.
Report success / exact text of error messages.

From your browser:
3) Browse www.hotmail.com.
4) Browse 207.68.171.233.
Report success / exact text of error messages.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Marc,
This is what shows up at the bottom of the page where it usually says "done
javascript:OpenWin('http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...b&mid=90c3b880-5ed6-43ce-891f-9e2e0e32f860');
Thanks, Ginny
