hotmail access HELP

[maggiekg]

I have been using Hotmail forever but all of a sudden I can't get to the site via any direction. I type in hotmail.msn.com and the page comes up saying connection cannot be made and I am still on-line. The same thing happens form MY MSN home page. I click on hotmail and no way can I get there. I am not having a computer problem and all other sites are OK. What is happening here.

I was in New Tec for along time and just moved to Cookstown. Hi Neighbour
I will now try all your suggestions. I have 128 but at the bottom of browser it shows a lock. My internet works on all other sites. I will get back to you.
