Kodo Please Help

I dont seem to be able to view secure web pages..... ive tried to figure it out, but to no avail, any help would be welcome

thanks in advance

 

make sure your browser is using 128bit encryption.

make sure you're not blocking port 443 (SSL)

If you've enabled the MTU setting on your router, disable it and try.

 

do you reckon you could give me step by step instructions please, cos im thick

 

if you're using IE. Open it up. Go to the help button on the toolbar. Choose About Internet Explorer. The box that pops up will have the line CIPHER STRENGTH (2nd line down) make sure it says 128bit.

You'll also want to make sure that in your advanced tab of your internet options that you've checked off
USE SSL2.0
USE SSL3.0

in the security section (at the bottom) ->Tools->internet options->Advanced tab then scroll down to bottom.

As for the other two suggestions.. are you using a firewall / router of any kind?

 

Checked my settings in I/E and there all set as you stated. im using McAfee 30 day trial (only cos ive broken the Norton stuff)

 

try disabling mcafee for the time being..

 

Kodo HELP Please

Done that, still no go :'( . Ive even uninstalled all McAfee now and it still aint working.

 

Does it work in Safe Mode w/ Networking?

(Provided this is XP and you are using an always active connection)

 

thanks Adrynalyne, tried it in safe mode with networking, unable to view any webpages and unable to sign into msn messenger???

 

what happens when you try to login to msn

what happens (error messages) when you try to open up a secure site?

 

on msn i get message "we were unable to sign you in to the .NET Messenger Service, possible because of a problem with your Internet connection. Please try again later. 0x81000370 (but there cant be a problem with internet connection, because i can access some webpages apart from secure ones)

when i try to access a secure web page i get the normal security alert, when i click to continue the page i receive is as follows.

Cannot find server or DNS Error

Looks like ive sorted the problem, i eventually managed to remove norton internet security, and on reboot of my system i was automatically signed into msn messenger, and able to view secure webpages. fingers crossed and thanx for help

 

Glad that was worked out...that was what I suspected (a firewall), hence the SafeMode w/ Networking question.


You can probably reinstall NIS if you are a glutton for punishment (shameless potshot at Symantec), just make sure you configure it properly. Secure websites reside on a different port than standard HTML websites (port 80).
