I had this problem whenever I was in my Ubuntu system, but not while in Windows. I couldn't access yahoo mail, hotmail and moodle. Youtube always stopped working if I logged in.
Adjusting the MTU setting solved all those problems, thank you very much.

I had this problem ever since moving from Virgin to Orange broadband. I have a D-Link DI-524 router and all computers that had XP could not access hotmail, but the laptop that had vista for some reason. I called Orange who had no clue what they were doing after they had done their usually routine of checks. T
At one point i was changing the windows clock to 5mins forward...?!?! Anyway, i came across this site and within 5mins problem was solved! I changed the MTU to 1200, restarted and could then access hotmail and the orange email. Btw i had to change the MTU on all of the computers that had XP.

I used my hotmail password yesterday prior to noon. When I needed to get bac k to read my email, it would not accept my password. I had not changed it. Consequently I signed up for the new version email [Email Address Removed] and now that wont accept my password. What gives? This is the second weekend that this happening.

Oh my god .. the MTU setting worked for me too !! I too have a D-Link DI-524 router which could not get to hotmail. I changed the default MTU setting of the router from 1500 to 1200 and now hotmail works !! I'll try slowly increasing the MTU setting to see how far up I can take it.

Thanks Leo & Tom Young !!

I have a D-Link DI-524 router. I never could get to hotmail through it. Finally, I wild ass guessed, and set the MTU setting in the router to 1200. It worked. I can get into hotmail, upload & download pictures, etc.

Leo you are the BOMB!!!
This worked for me too, I have a comment to add. I couldn't figure out the right number to put, I tried 1500 and 1492 but neither one worked. One of my other computers could access hotmail and myspace just fine, so what I did is run the little program on that PC and noticed that the number there was 1300, so I used the same number on the one that wasn't working and all of the sudden Boom it worked. Once again thanks for taking the time to write this article.

Hi Leo,

Love your site, it's a godsend.

I've been trying, with the previous posts, to figure out what may be wrong. I have been unable to access hotmail either since setting up a LAN.

I run xp pro, and have a d-link wireless DI624M router hooked up to a d-link 302-g modem via ethernet cable.
The main computer is in port 1 of the router, and a laptop runs off the wireless.
Both function ok except for hotmail, gmail style addresses.
I have changed the mtu on the main computer to 1492.
I have looked into double nating. The NAT is disabled on the modem, so I presume that wouldn't be a problem.
Do you think port-forwarding may be the problem?
Would I need to assign a static IP for the main computer?

Any help you could give would be great. (ps, i'm not proficient in networking)

Thanks, Ben.

You can't get to your free hotmail account from the laptop, you have to sign up and pay for the hotmail to get it on the laptop.

You need to forward tcp/udp 443 using NAT
