MSN Signing in problems

[Bright_Spark]

Having trouble siging into email account.

internet connection is good

login details are also good

when signing in, i either get 'page cannot be displayed here' or 'we may be having difficulties or you internet connection may be faulty'


as my internet connection is fine, i just wondered if anyone could throw any light onto things?

is anyone else having similar trouble? is it a hotmail/msn server issue?

thanks

Im not having any problems. Have you tried signing it via msn home page or is that how you do it anyway.

-The client computer that you use to log on is running Internet Explorer 7.
- The HTTP server is using digest authentication. .....
