Can't connect to https web sites

Hi

As well as the above, have you made sure that I.E.'s options are setup correctly. Click Tools>InternetOptions, click the Advanced tab and scroll down until you reach the Security section. Make sure both SSL entries are selected.

Also, try this:

Good luck

Update and run virus removal if all else looks OK.
This is a known virus signature.

Hi,

On the user PC, open a command window and run netstat -a. You should get a response like below..

S:\>netstat -a

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP OBWAN:ftp OBWAN.deepspace.prof:0 LISTENING
TCP OBWAN:http OBWAN.deepspace.prof:0 LISTENING

UDP OBWAN:snmp *:*
UDP OBWAN:router *:*

Look for the line with https ... LISTENING.
This means that port 443 is OK. on this computer. Run this on the gateway/router. If this is ok at your end, then this service may be blocked at the ISP end.

Call up the DSL provider and find out.

Good Luck

Check the date/time settings on the computer. If the clock is off by too much (usually several days/months/years), SSL will start failing.

(I know this is too late for the original poster, but this is the #1 Google search result for "can't connect to https" so maybe it'll help some other people.)
