    hey what's up with this? i tried to acces www.hotmail.com and it gives me the message that my browser is not compatible!!!
    However i do have Explorer 6 and Firefox 0.8

    Code:
    Browser not Compatible
     
       
    Microsoft® .NET Passport does not admit the current version of the web browser that you are using. Update the Browser to a newer version like Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.08 or later.
    thx

    PS:Maybe a virus?

    What browser were you using when trying to access the page?

    The only time I get that message is when I use FireFox/Mozilla and going to MSN Zone..

    The real message...
    Web Browser Software Limitations


    Your Current Software Will Limit Your Ability to Use Hotmail

    You are using a web browser that Hotmail does not support. If you continue to use your current browser software we cannot guarantee that Hotmail will work correctly for you.

    We recommend that you upgrade your web browsing software and invite you to download Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.


    I think you could have a virus or a brower hijack / spyware. Then again maybe you have a firewall that blocks browser idenification i.e " HTTP user-agent". If you do have a firewall set it to allow HTTP user-agent. There is not really a risk to anything if you do.

    @NightStalker try using this for your MSN Zone

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.01; Windows NT 5.1)
