Let me start off by saying that I am a novice to Linux and I'm definitely outside of my comfort zone.

The Problem:
I am using firefox within RHEL 5.4. I can browse general websites just fine.(Http) When ever I try to browse SSL (https) sites I get "Failed to connect".

Steps Taken:
I have tried to use different DNS servers and am currently using OpenDNS DNS servers. I have also checked Firefox to ensure "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0" are checked.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

-Jeff
