HI! Every time I get an email with an attachment of 300 k or more, it takes over 30 minutes,sometimes  more... to finally download it. I have LAN connection and use IE6.0 to retrieve messages from Hotmail. When I try to go directly to Hotmail website, I can't even access net passport site. It says it's unavailable at this time. Could it be my firewall? I am using Norton Internet Security 2002.I am asking it because I can access it from another computer.On my cookies setting, I allowed hotmail.com and netpasssport.com

Thanks for any input,

Skipper

OK, I solved the hotmail problem by changing my cookies settings from High to Medium High. I can now log in to hotmail. I still have the very long time required to download via IE if email has an attachment. It took me 1 hour to receive an attachment of .98 meg!
