Question Problem logging into Hotmail.


It started about two weeks ago. I called Hotmail and they said I didn't have anti virus. I stated I have Clam Anti Virus. Windows got so bad I would get over a 100 spy ware virus and scanning took about over 1 hour per week. In 5 years with Fedora I've gotten around 14 malwares on some items I downloaded. I use Firefox,Sea Monkey,and Opera Browsers. I connect at 25 Mbps.so I should have enough to connect. I've tried all three Browsers and all have the same problem. I scan Home,Downloads,Mozilla and Opera two or three times a week. The error I get is they can't find the server. I tried my windows computer using Sea Monkey and it connected the first time. I've tried to connect through Google and they stopped this also.

What, precisely, happens when you try to log in at Hotmail and what error messages, if any, do you get?

https://mail.live.com/m/m currently available.
https://mail.live.com/default.aspx These are for Opera.
Can't find server at Outlook.com
Can't find servers at Outlook live.com These are for Firefox
The Browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
Outlook Live could not be found. These two are for Sea Monkey.

If I understand you properly, then, the problem is not that you can't log in, but that you cannot connect to the login page. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

I was able to connect to the login page using the links you provided using Firefox on Slackware --Currrent. I did not attempt to log in as I don't have an account. If you have noscript or a similar plugin (Opera had one called "not script," does it alert to any scripts at those pages?

Can you ping outlook.com or its ip address of 132.245.21.82?

What distro/version are you using? Are you running on bare metal or in a virtual machine?

Are there any other websites to which your browsers won't connect?

Are you running any other form of security software apart from Clam? A firewall or proxy server for example.

Did you do any installs or software updates, or anything else significant on your system, before you noticed the problem?

In Firefox, what do you have for the settings at Preferences->Network->Advanced->Connection->Settings?

Have you tried connecting through another internet connection?

I can ping outlook.com 67.o to 69.1 Ms
I tried to ping both live.com and 65.55.206.154 and it hangs up I can't get a reading on either.
I update fedora 24 daily if they have any updates. I was using a modem with 15 Mbps with 1MBbps and got stalled all the time trying to get links. I upgraded to a 25Mbps with 2Mbps this is when I started having more problems. My old phone company sent me an offer for 100Mbps and I'm thing of changing.
I have a cisco Rsv 4000 router 1000Mbps I updated the firmware and noticed port 8080 was blocked. I have another machine with windows 7 using Sea Monkey and it will connect quickly.

I talked to my isp and he said live may be the mail server.
https://www.live.com/ I tried this and I'm getting straight in at this time.
Thanks for your help.

While the live.com address worked evening and mornings. I used software install and installed a Chromium web browser this works all times of day.
