outlook.com email problem!

Ok you are correct sir. Now, who can help with that!?

Power cycle the router, in other words, reach in back and unplug the power from the router, wait 30 seconds, plug back in.
When it is back up test.

I've been doing this regularly for a while now. Same results.

You could try changing DNS servers to the Google servers.

Yes JDC2000, this has to be on one of the next things to try once I have time and figure out HOW to do it.

Merry christmas to all, here is my christmas morning message from my laptop attached.Untitled-1.jpg

You need to go into the router and allow more ip addresses to be used.

... and figure out HOW to do it.

Windows.Microsoft.com > Change TCP/IP settings

Merry Christmas!

I don't want to jinx anything but I was JUST locked out 5 mins ago...tried resetting IE and restarting and it didn't work. So came here to get the instructions how to change the DNS and did it...without restarting tried my email again and was able to.
More later

Day 2 and no locked out. Can someone explain to me what we did here? DNS to 888 business...we added more ip addresses?
Not sure why this would work but so far so good.

[jdc2000]

DNS servers translate web addresses like outlook.com to their actual IP addresses so you don't have to remember a lot of numbers. If you were using your ISP's DNS Servers and they were not doing their job properly, that could have been your problem. Google's DNS Servers are likely to be working properly 99.9999% of the time.

Thanks to all that chimed in....the problem seems to be fixed!

Are using open DNS in your browser?

Seems that error shows up a lot in Chrome.
Found this:

Question are you using http or https?

the problem seems to be fixed!

Excellent!
