Hi, ever since SP2 for XP, I have not been able to access Hotmail and a few
other internet sites...one of them being Google....here at work. EVerything
is fine at my home computer because I have not upgraded to SP2. So, I
thought that I would add Hotmail to my OE6. I have everything configured
correctly, and wouldn't you know it.......it timed out...with this error:
Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account:
'Hotmail', Server: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
Protocol: HTTPMail,
Server Response: ' ', Port: 0, Secire)SSL): No, Socket Error: 12002, Error
Number: 0x800CCC19

I am wondering if above gives a big hint as to what my problem is in
accessing Hotmail from IE6. Can anyone out there decipher this message ?
If so, please tell me if there is a setting somewhere on this computer that
needs to be fixed or adjusted so that I can go back to normal ????

Thanks so much in advance,
Eileen

Hotmail is an on-line service (i.e. website)
Suggest that you log on to www.hotmail.com

It seems you did not understand my post. www.hotmail.com CANNOT be accessed
from this computer in any way, shape or form. The sisn in screen pops up, I
enter my information and then nothing for a few minutes, then "This page
cannot be displayed.....blah blah blah.......................
