221981 2004-03-12 22:37:00 Been like it since I got into work, and customers were complaining they couldnt get into it.

Pings to hotmail.com resolve 64.4.33.7, but time-out?

Microsoft trying to fix Hotmail problems

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE -- Microsoft Corp. said Friday that a "significant portion" of people who use the company's Hotmail e-mail system and other Internet-based products were having trouble accessing the services.

The company said it was an internal problem rather than an attack on its system and that it hoped to have service restored by 5:30 p.m. PST.

The problem began about 8:30 a.m.

In addition to Hotmail, the popular Web-based e-mail service, Microsoft said people were having trouble accessing products such as company's MSN Messenger instant messaging program.

Malina Bragg, a spokeswoman with Microsoft's Waggener Edstrom public relations firm, said in an e-mail that the company did not know how many people were having trouble but that "it appears to affect a significant portion of our customers."

Bragg said problem appeared to be affecting people who were trying to log on to the system. Those that were able to get on the system did not appear to be having problems sending and receiving e-mail, she said.
