I can not access ANY Microsoft websites of Microsoft accounts.
Liz or Amanda, I can not access any microsoft wesite. I belive Hughesnet has blocked them PLEASE HELP!! This is the 2nd time this has happened in 3 months, I can not acces any much needed document'...
Hello,
Yes the issue is still ongoing. The biggest hurdles are over but yes there will still be access issues. It is possible you can try changing the DNS setting in the modem to see if a different server can get you there.
Instructions can be found at http://support.hughesnet.com/sites/support.hughesnet.com/files/inline-files/1041264-0001_a.pdf (see page 30 for DNS settings) - you can try a widely used DNS address set like Google's:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
Yes it's fixed! I live about about 30 miles south of TANatPATS, had the same problem, and have been watching this thread- although some other sites that end in .gov were also affected. Thanks, Amanda.
Last time this happened (a few months ago) it WAS a DNS cache problem.
If Hughesnet had blocked them, none of us would be able to access them. I just accessed my Microsoft account and other Microsoft websites without a problem. It's probably something else that's affecting you, but I'm sure the mods will be able to sort this out for you.
