    Hi,

    Yahoo mail is experiencing a glitch. I haven't found a fix for it yet. In the mean-time inform Yahoo! of the problem: http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/c...

    For those who can't get in at all try this as it seems to be working for a few.

    http://myyahoo.com/

    Login on My Yahoo! page

    Select the link at top right to go to Yahoo!'s Home Page.

    Mouse over the Mail Icon under where it says (Hi, your Yahoo! id).

    You should get a drop down menu with your latest emails displayed.

    Select an email and click it. You then get to a new page about Shortcuts, but just select the button for Mail and it should take you to your Mail page.

    It wasn't getting redirected to the shortcuts page on some servers and not going to the mail page.

    I hope this helps some until Yahoo! Mail gets a fix for us.

    I have had the same problem. I accessed it by going to my mail sign in page and then to the yahoo home page. It is probably yahoo making sure that everyone changes to their new yahoo 7 or whatever cr.ap they are pushing now.

    Do other sites work if not it is simple

    while you're computer is off unplug you're modem/DSL and router for 10 seconds then plug it back in then turn on you're computer

    if that dose not work go to

    start

    run (type in cmd)

    then type

    ipconfig_all (enter)

    ipconfig_release (enter)

    ipconfig_renew (enter)

    or you can also

    go to control panel

    network and Internet connections

    Network connections

    Local area connection

    click on the support tab

    and repair

    If that does not work then it is down in you're area check with you're ISP (Internet service provider) to see if there is a problem.

    You're problem is:

    1.Maybe your firewall is blocking IP from Yahoo!

    2.Maybe you have a parental control program installed,that blocks Yahoo!

    Maybe you have blocked the site in your settings.

    Try to describe it better(what message appears).

    Check your computer with antispyware program to prevent blocking site.

    If you are at work, then your IT group may have it blocked in their firewall. If you're at home, then it maybe an access issue with your router or your ISP's. OR......can you access anything else? if not, check your connections...wireless does need to be on to work or your cable needs to be plugged in... :)
