ya the same happens in athlonen it! they have hotmail and various other site blocked out! no hope of getting into them in the college!

You can sign in at home because its not hotmail that is the problem it is your PC/ Network.

Your college could have banned Hotmail access <but if this were true I would think you would get an official college banned message or something >

Try a different PC, its probably some sort of script or page that you dont have the correct add on to view.

You'll need to setup your laptop to work with their LAN, you'll need to contact one of the administrators for this, unless somebody here happens to have the information you need. You'll need to setup TCP/IP so that it has a valid address for the network, either by the administrators giving you one or letting the LAN assign one through DHCP. You'll possibly also need to set a default gateway address (tells your computer whereabouts on the LAN the internet connection is). In Internet explorer you may need to assign a proxy server address too. The LANs administrator should tell you all you need

I've been coming across that alot more recently. Hotmail not working or not letting people log in on their laptop but when I try a nearby computer it works fine. I even had a girl who couldn't log in to her account on her own laptop but when her friend tried it worked fine. I managed to get it working by either emptying the cache and temporary files or it could have been the proxy settings I fiddled around with. I installed firefox and it worked fine and told the user to give that a go if IE stops working again. Perhaps give that a try and see if it works?

no, its not that. hotmail works on the campus, just not in my room, i have the settings for the lan, its just like this for a week or something, weird.

i empied the cache and temp files, blah.
