Problems With Sending Hotmail


tutsiwarrior

Recommended Posts

after recently applying the usual windows XP upgrades I now find that I cannot send hotmail messages...they time out. I got a new super spec HP laptop with all the bells and whistles and this should not be happening.

Is there a switch somewhere?...

jesus, this is tiresome...

First thing i would do is check your proxy settings. If you've been using a proxy server somewhere it's possible they've blocked access to hotmail. If you've changed the proxy IP then change it back to whatever it was. Same goes for your ISP, so check with them if there's anything wrong.

Other than that you might want to check for spyware/malware. Download Spybot and Adaware, run 'em and see what they come up with.

It may just be a problem with the Hotmail servers and you might find that the problem will clear by itself shortly. Good Luck.

Take a look at your firewall software and any spamware apps they would both allow you to access the hotmail server but if wrongly configured will stop you sending mail. What firewall you using the standard xp one?
