I'm seeing some odd behavior when I try to access the Hotmail website from my home desktop (wired connection to the Internet gateway [cable modem/router]), and I'm hoping someone can help.
I'm using Google Chrome. For the past several days, the hotmail/outlook/live.com website can't be accessed, though sometimes several hours later or the next day, it will work for a period of time before becoming inaccessible. This is the only website I have trouble with.
When I try using Internet Explorer to go to "hotmail.com", it gets to the initial page (
https://outlook.live.com/owa/), but won't connect to the sign in screen when I click "Sign in". (So I'm guessing the real problem is with "login.live.com".)
When I use my phone (connected wirelessly to the same gateway [cable modem/router] device) it accesses fine.
When I try to connect from my work office, it connects fine.
I've tried disabling all "Shields" on my Avast! antivirus and connecting, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I don't see any relevant entries in HOSTS. And I'm feeling really old because I can't think of what else to check. Antivirus scan finds nothing.
Error msg:
This site can’t be reached
login.live.com took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_TIMED_OUT
Thoughts?
And.. Thanks in Advance!!
