Secured Sites

[Ecksent]

Anyone ever had a problem getting on to secured sites before? I can't go anywhere that starts with "https://". No on-line banking, no CCBill, no freakin hotmail for fucks sake. All it says is that is "site refused connection". BTW- Running Firefox, but doesn't work in IE either. I've tried all the "Host" logs, and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions or help would be appericated. Thanks!

did you install some kind of firewall? .. there need to be open for port 443 - did you maby update to XP servicepack2 (build in firewall is activeted)

Sounds like port 443 is blocked. There are two likely explainations-

a) You are running a firewall configured to block 443.

b) The proxy you are connecting through does not support https

Just had this problem myself.

The problem is in the XP SP2 firewall. My stupid ass turned it on, when I had another firwall already running. When I went to turn that micro$oft P.O.S. off, it would not TURN off.

Sure it would say it was turned off on one screen, but not the other. Nothing would turn it off. Firefox, and every other program worked fine, except I.E.. So what I did to correct it was uninstall one of the firewalls, and go into internet options on I.E. resetting all to default, and then reinstall one of my secondary firewalls.

Problem solved.

The problem's in XP SP2 firewall that creates the problem you are having. The is prolly another work around, but that one (above) worked for me.

You need to upgrade your Internet Explorer 1.0 to a more actual version.

I fixed it. It had something to do with Norton System Works. Just uninstalled the fucker and things fixed themselves. I realized everything went to shit after I did a "Live Update". Thanks anyways for the help folks!
