Hello?! .NET Passport problem?

I've read some other posts about this problem, but I
haven't seen the answer, and I thought that if anyone in
the Microsoft Universe ever bothers to read the
newsgroups, they will hopefully see a recurring problem.
Money tells me that my .net sign-in was unsuccessful.
It's been this way for a week now. I've tried to change
my .net info. When I go to the .net website, the sign-in
works. When I try to tell Money to update my .net info
or change my .net info, it tells me that I need to enable
my browser to do cookies. But I have told my browser to
accept all cookies, and it still doesn't work. Plus,
cookies work on other sites. When I went to the .net
website, it tells me that the .net servers are all up and
working fine. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem - as of 3 days ago. It
might just be coincidence, but I also installed Messenger
6.0 on the same day. If not coincidence, then we might
be experiencing something else similar.

I have had the same problem for the last week or so but today the passport
sign-in seems to be working again. Give it a try.

Greg,

Did you ever get a reply? I have the same problem.

I'm having the same problem.
Do any of you have Norton Internet Security or a firewall?
I found that if I don't disable my firewall (like I really
want to) I get the error message when trying to sign into
Money 2003 with my net passport. As soon as I turn the
firewall off, it works.
I've searched through Norton to make sure everything has
access, but to no avail.
Just curious if maybe it's a Norton/Microsoft
incompatibility issue.
David
