Runtime Error when going to Hotmail

[Guest]

I get this message after going to hotmail.com... (note: acer travelmate 800,
xp sp2, ie6). I can read my mail by going through Messenger.


Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

thanks for the help.

Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one?

Are you trying to connect at your place of employment? Have you a new ISP?

It seemed to have happened out of the blue, and yes it started in the middle
of last week, about. I'm connected wirelessly to my network at home using the
same ISP as I've been using.

 

[PA Bear]

Are you connecting to the internet directly via the wireless router or are
you trying to connect using Internet Connection Sharing over the network?
(It sounds like a problem with your wireless set-up or Network
configuration.)

 

[Guest]

It's the wireless router I'm sure. I guess i'll try reseting everything and
see what happens.

This may be a symptom of too strict security on the client side.

First, make sure that your Security settings are Default.
E.g. doubleclick on the security zone icon in the Status bar
and click Default Level.

BTW what zone is this URL coming up in?
If it is the Internet zone and you don't want to set default level security
always in that zone consider adding it to the list of sites in the Trusted Sites
zone and use its security levels instead.


Good luck

I also started getting the same problem last week. Nothing to do with
security level. I can access hotmail through FireFox !!! but not through
IE...I renewed the Host file hoping to cure the problem...also deleted all
Temporary Internet Files...nothing doing...Suspected a MalWare...!scanning
showed nothing...
Any more suggestions...
Tks.

This may only be a tempory server side error. It appears to me that hotmail
are probably applying the IIS lockdown tool. We had the same error when
doing same on our server.
This should be appearing in their web logs and they should be on to it.

Tks for response.
Error must be emating from my PC...as other computers on my home network do
not show the same error..
For the time being I am using a shortcut dirtectly to the "Login" Page !
