MS getting forgetful in their old age:-

MSN has been up and down like a yo-yo today. (Tell me something new!)

On my system, MailWasher checks my POP and Hotmail accounts for new mail every 15 minutes - and in the past few hours it has failed to connect to Hotmail about 50% of the time.

If normal browsing and POP-based email work ok (and, of course, NewsGroup access!), I guess your router is ok - and that it's just the usual MSN problem.

Presumably something checks my Nildram IP address and decides I should use the 'co.uk' domain? Everything was working fine this morning. I tried using 'nslookup' on

Anyway, as I can talk to you the wiring etc. seems O.K.

Never simple, is it?

Cheers

This link ( http://207.46.110.254/) doesn't work for me, either! Have you tried going to

Roger

Yep - horribly slow but I can get on that way. Still no MSN messenger etc. Still no HTTP connection from OE to send/receive Hotmail mail.

No doubt it will be sorted sometime.

Thanks

Thats not a bug, thats a blessing.

Well if you got to here, internet is working, unless yoiu have a firewall blocking other access.

Lot of worms and viruses about. Internet shagged as usual (technical term)

Good news! maube my spam will go down now..
