I was completely unable to get into Hotmail for over 12 hours yesterday, and when I left the house this AM, I still couldn’t. Nor could I access any other MSN features. Now at work, I can. (Or I could. But I’ve more important things to do here :D) Of course, now I’m worried that the flaw was on my home system, not on MSN. Anyone else have that trouble last night? ---

I’ve been having problems getting to email from the MSN home page – but at work – the last few days (since late last week). No problems on it or IM on my home machine last night. ---

Hotmail’s worked fine for me recently, and is accessible right now. Maybe it’s a problem with specific servers. Can you log in via the [hotmail.co.uk](http://hotmail.co.uk) or [msn.co.uk](http://msn.co.uk) sites? ---

I’m not having any problems with mine at all, other than no one writes to me any more… ---

There is this: [http://news.com.com/2100-1032\_3-5070463.html](http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-5070463.html) Apparently Road Runner was having some problems with their customers not being able to get to MSN or Hotmail. According to the article, it was supposed to have been fixed yesterday night. Perhaps this is what’s happening to you guys? \_\_ \<\< All computers wait at the same speed. \>\> ---
