weird stuff, doesn't matter what i do with my security issues or preferences or loggin in or out, still can't access hotmail from ie. i d/l'd mozilla firefox and it rocks, and has no problems getting into hotmail or anything for that matter, but i'd still like to know what i did here. thanks for the help

passport requires that session cookies are enabled.. if you over-ride your cookie handling in IE and check always allow session cookies, try it again and let us know what happens.

 

still throws up the exact same thing
