Nope, no firewall in place. That is one of the many things the guy from ATT and I checked. And under Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, I have SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0 all checked. Although there is no PCT listed in IE 6.0?!?! And under the Privacy tab,Edit, I added hotmail as a site to allow. I am at a loss. Looks as though I am not the only one with this problem..... groups.google.com From: Harley Stack (harleystack@hotmail.com) Subject: IE6 cannot login to many sites( XP and IE6) Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlookexpress.wishlist View this article only Date: 2001-12-07 16:43:08 PST When I try to log into many websites with IE6 I get the following message as if the connection is gone - other browsers work i.e. IE 5 and Netscape still work.

MSN has not been any help at all...I am running Windows 98 SE and all I can find out is that I have a 0 bit cypher and can't get 128 bit encryption....and this I got from my ISP which is Road Runner Cable Modem.....MSN wants to charge me $ 35.00 for help with this problem.... I guess a lot of us are in the same slowly sinking boat....any suggestions would be more than welcome... val928@hotmail.com Message 3 in thread From: GJ (jkuhn1@ix.netcom.com) Subject: IE6 cannot login to many sites( XP and IE6) Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlookexpress.wishlist View this article only Date: 2001-12-08 13:39:00 PST Similar problem here. I have XP / IE 6.0 The problem is with secure web sites. Some secure web sites work fine, but many do not. I have not been able to find any commonality among the sites that do not work. The IE "about" claims that 128 bit is enabled, and I have all of the security protocols enabled, although I have noticed that there is no longer an option to enable PCT 1.0 in IE 6.0 My system is behind a firewall, but another system on the same network with IE 5.01 on W2K works fine.
