Unhappy Accessing Hotmail remotely?

Is there anyway i can access my hotmail email remotely? I am on a shared computer which has no Email program on it and onto which I can install no software. It's running windows 2000 and IE 6.

Due to Firewall problems we can't log onto hotmail.com or MSN messenger?

All IT guru suggestions gratefully received as can't access my email at the mo and am slowly going mad in the Iraqi sunshine.........

Without port forwarding in the router/firewall you can't do anything remotely.


Best thing is to run an off site browser on someones server and brown net to hotmail.com from there.

Or try the link below for anonymous surfing

  • Anonymous chat, IM & file sharing. Leave no trace of your online activity.
  • High performance servers and bandwidth.
  • Anti-Censorship via Peer Network.

  • Military grade file shredder.
  • Kill popups/ads for a better web experience.

you should be able to access your hotmail email account through the www.msn.co.uk website, I did when I was on holiday, and needed to check my email, you don't need to download anything, it uses the browser to view your acount

But will be stored in the network log.


If they have firewalled some sites like hotmail.com, it will be for security reasons e.g. mail can't be scanned for viruses.

This could be seen as a sackable offence.
