Can't Access Hotmail of Xbox Live via Verizon DSL

Someone please help as this situation is now in its third day and no one has been able to help me. The Verizon customer service phone line keeps blaming Microsoft, and vice versa. The whole blame game is getting tedious.
Since Friday, Feb 3rd at approx 9pm I have not been able to sign into either my Hotmail of Xbox Live Accounts. Now let me be very clear, the password and logins are correct, but the browser continually times out and won't connect. I have been able to access my email via my work computer (10 miles away) so I know that the Hotmail servers aren't down. I can access the entire internet at home, just not hotmail. I can log into the Xbox website at home, but the console (which is plugged directly into the modem) times out when it tries to login.
I really just want to know that someone is looking into it. This problem seems to be affecting only Verizon DSL/FIOs customers in CA, who use hotmail of the Xbox live services. I'm just really tired of getting the run around.
To help here's what I've tried:
-Reloading and Resetting my internet browser
-Cleared cache and deleted cookies and temporary files
-Reset modem
-release/renew IP address
-contact Microsoft and Verizon (both have failed to address the issue properly)
-Accessed affected email through a different computer on a different network.
Please help.

I also thought it might be hepful to post a link to the Windows Live Solution Center forum where you can clearly see that it isn't just me. This is a systemic problem for Verizon DSL users in CA trying to access Hotmail and related Microsoft sites.
Connect the dots. This is not just an individual incident, this is a much larger outage that needs attention.

I can't access Hotmail?

I don't know where this goes to, but my problem is that i can't access hotmail via my macbook laptop either using safari or firefox.
The problem lies in whenever i get to hotmail and login into my account. I can't seems to open the link to read my e-mails nor toggle between the inbox and junk box.
Apparently, javascript or something is the cause or is it something else?
Can anyone give any advice regarding this issue?

"Daniel, I appreciate the time you took to report this to us. The issue you described happens when you are using the lower version of your preferred browser with the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail. I suggest that you upgrade your browser to its latest version and optimize it.
For instructions on how to download the latest version of your browser and optimize it, please see the Help section of your browser or their support team.
If the issue persists after performing the actions above, please reply to the following questions so that we can further investigate:
1. Does the issue happen even when you use another computer with a different browser?
2. Does it occur with other Windows Live Hotmail accounts that are being accessed on your computer?
3. Does it happen whether you are using the Full or Classic version of the Windows Live Hotmail interface?"
This was how i fixed mine, try if it works for you.

When i press on option Stop i get e message saying: refussing connection.This server has beed previously supporting HTTP Strict Transport Security. Due to SSL certificate warning/errors, a connection will not be made. Please could anybody help me.. I contact Vodafone they said it's microsoft issue then the latter said it's blackberry problem. i have tried everything nothing seems to work.. I don't want to register my hotmail account on my BB, but i want to access it through browsing as i do on my PC.. I will be really gratful.. thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ggggrrrr, i really hope that's wrong, i would also be moving away from BB sharpish if that's the case. Hoping someone cleverer than me can come up with a solution, the BB manual certainly doesn't help. Like the first poster I have tried getting vodafone to help and also hotmail, both without success.

Can't access IBM mainframe 3270 session via SSL self-signed cert.

Can't access IBM mainframe 3270 session via SSL self-signed cert since sometime last week. Using Mochasoft tn3270 lite on android works fine but iPad ios7 says "IBM mainframe has closed the session". Any clues would be appreciated.

I'm thinking the problem may be the IBM cert is 1024 bit. Investigating choices to implement 2048 bit cert into IBM.

I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Windows Live won't install on my mac. Can't Access Hotmail.

I have MSN as my home page and access my email there with a link to Hotmail. In the last few days, the site has been changed and now when I try to access Hotmail, I am redirected to a new window indicating that I need to subscribe to Windows Live. When I download the file, it disappears from my downloaded files and therfore I cannot install it. I can access my Hotmail through a regular PC and have not been asked on a PC to subscribe to Windows Live. So, it would seem the problems lies with the Macbook, but I'm not sure.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks

wait. i'm trying to download windows live and it won't even let me get to the web page, on safari or firefox.

Can't access anything of windows live, or hotmail. all other internet is functioning.

I am unable to access anything in Windows Live, Microsoft, and Hotmail.
All other internet is functioning. (IP, Google, browsing, etc)
Microsoft remote assistance was unsuccessful.
Error message says that Norton is blocking remote access. Unable to change or remove Norton. no pathway found.

Windows Live Messenger Connection Troubleshooter displays failure at Key Ports and reads "Failed to connect to the service.Please to make sure your Firewall is not blocking Windows Live Messenger." I have no blocks on Firewall and diagnostic check is clear. any advice would be appreciated.

I can't access hotmail or gmail. I get the message "unable to connect to the server". However I can access both msn and google main page and not problems with other sites. Any ideas of what to do?

Cannot access hotmail or gmail, although no problems with the actual msn home page or other sites. I get the message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at .....
== URL of affected sites ==
http://login.live.com; http://www.google.com

Hi thanks for reply.
No, not that I'm aware. How/Where can I check this?
The only think I've done recently is install a different antivirus program and uninstall the old one which had expired. Not sure if this is linked to the problem...?

Upgraded to extreme and can no longer connect to xbox live

My old airport express died so yesterday I bought an airport extreme to replace it. I had no problems setting it up, my powerbook and powermac connect to the internet just fine. My ps3, wii, and apple tv all connect fine. However I lost the ability to connect to xbox live with my xbox360. Running the "Test Xbox Live Connection" test shows that it passes all the tests and is connected to the internet until it reaches the xbox live test where it fails. According to xbox support there are no current outages or problems with my account.
Since the only thing which has recently changed is the upgrade from airport express to an extreme it seems like that is likely the problem. I thought it might be a NAT or port thing but in the airport setup utility there are no options for changing either NAT or port settings.
Any ideas anyone? It looks like a year ago when the extreme came out there were problems between it and the xbox, but it also looks like they were resolved. Also they caused the xbox not to be able to connect to the network at all, which mine can do.
Thanks very much for any ideas or help. Otherwise the extreme is going to have to go back.

That's a drag.
I wish I could be more help, but I can not think of what the problem would be. I have mine connected to a network that bridges two AEBS to allow for a large area WIFI. I have no problems with either of the 360's connected. I have no special port forwarding or any settings changed to get the connection.
I also know that since I just replaced my main base station for an unrelated problem, that it worked out of the box both times.
I would say try direct connecting it. (the xbox) Not necessarily to correct the problem, but to isolate the AEBS as the problem. I would also try shutting down anything else that may be connecting so you only have a connection with your xbox. Again, none of this will probably solve your issue.... but you can get in contact with customer care or visit a genius bar.
In my experience if you can give detailed results to test you have already performed to trouble shoot, they are very receptive to replacing your product. Isolating the AEBS and saying you know t will connect direct, and that even when it is the only device connected.... it fails. I would also try both wireless and wired if you have both options.
I know it is not the optimal answer.... probably a pain.... but sometimes things just work kinda goofy. I know the stuff works and works great when it does... but I have had my share of issues with apple hardware. The good news is they have never failed me when it comes to taking care of it.
Good Luck !!!

I can no longer connect to Xbox Live with my WRT54G

A few days ago I had to exchange my xbox for a new one. For some reason I can not get this new xbox to connect to Live at all. The error message I'm getting is saying that port 3074 isn't open. The fact of the matter is that port is open. I've tried every everything that I could think trying to get my 360 to connect to live. For some reason my new Xbox is showing up under the Other Devices tab in the ELA program (see picture below). Could that be the problem? My old 360 that I had to take back to Best Buy (RRoD'd on me 3 days after owning it) connected just fine to my WRT54G.
So, yeah. I have the needed ports opened, tried DMZ, tried all types of things that I found searching these forums and google. I'm at lose as what to do. Any help will be appreciatied.

Xbox Live via Time Capsule

Hey All
This is my first post here .
I have a Time Capsule (sorry about the lack of tech specs) which is connected to a Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router which is connected to the wall via ethernet (obviously ).
I want to see if it is possible to give the netgear router the responsibility of connecting the iMac, 2 ipod touches, 2 iPhones and a Macbook Pro to the internet, while the Time Capsule acts as a wireless router for the xbox 360 I want to connect to XBOX Live. Is there a way to connect the xbox 360 to the Time Capsule via ethernet and the Time Capsule to the Netgear router via wireless and keep the Time Capsule backing up the iMac Simultaneously.
Please reply ASAP!
Thanks

Yikes.I haven't had much to do with networking.I was trying to find out getting an old mac OS8.6 to see my OSX network.
How about this site. http://guides.macrumors.com/NetworkingWindows_with_Mac_OSX
I assume you have a Mac with OSX and xbox is windows.
Did you try CNET Forums also?

Can't access Hotmail. Help!

Internet is working fine and have access to all other websites I've tried. On laptop and desktop, I get a "connection was reset" message when I try to get on hotmail. However, I can access hotmail through my mobile. I have already cleared cookies and cache, which hasn't helped.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Can I access my time machine remotely via it's IP address?

I'm going away - I know that I might need some documents that I can anticipate. Can I access my time capsule via it's IP address?

On the other hand if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP how are you going to find the IP address once you are away.
You call your wife and ask her to open up AirPort Utility on her computer and give you the IP address
I never used this connection very much when traveling because it was always incredibly S------L------O------W. I don't think users realize that they are at the mercy of of their uplink connection from a hotel or any other spot.

Bought Xbox One Sunday. Can I get the free Xbox Live card at the "Holiday Shopping Event"

I am referencing this event coming up thi Saturday, November 8th: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/seo/null/pcmcat344700050000.c?acampID=0&ref=8575135&loc=0&id=pcmcat34470...
Xbox One Console
Plus Free Xbox Live 12-Month Gold Membership
Limit 1 per household. No rainchecks. Products must be purchased on the same receipt to receive package savings. See a Customer Specialist for details.
I bought an Xbox One Assassin's Creed bundle this Sunday, November 2nd. Is this bundle eligible for this promotion? And furthermore and more importantly, as I bought the Xbox One bundle less than a week before this promotion takes place, am I eligible to get the Xbox Live card for free on Saturday without having to buy another Xbox One?

Hi jimmykup,
A free Xbox Live 12-Month Gold Membership is a great deal, so I can understand asking if the Xbox One bundle you recently purchased would be eligible. As offizzdeapo14 mentioned, the terms of the offer state that the Xbox One and Xbox Live membership would need to be purchased on the same receipt during the Holiday Shopping Event in-order to be eligible for the promotional savings. With that being said, the Xbox One bundle that you purchased would not be eligible because it was not purchased during the actual event.
Thank you for posting to the forum and enjoy your new Xbox One!
