Brian There is a problem with Web accelerator programs if you happened to have installed one lately. One of the things just about all of these programs do is save time questioning the Domain Name Server to find the IP address by putting the domain name and address on a line in a file in C:\Windows called Hosts with no extension (not Hosts.sam, which is just a sample file). This File may be hidden, so in Windows Explorer go to View \| Folder Options and, under Hidden Files, click the radio button for "Show all files". IE then never does a DNS lookup, trusting that file. This saves a miniscule amount of time until the IP address is changed. Then IE cannot find the site any more. Open HOSTS with Notepad and remove any lines referencing the problem Web sites. Uninstall the web accelerator. Then open Hosts with Notepad and remove the line referring to that site. Better yet, if you are not on a network, rename Hosts to Hosts.old. If you are on a network there may be other lines in Hosts necessary to proper functioning of the network.

Here's my last try on this one.. It's possible that your tcp/ip settings are blocking port 443. Do you have "tcp/ip filtering" enabled? here's how to check: My Network Places (on the desktop) right click properties change connection settings Double click on Internet protocol tcp/ip Advanced click on the Options tab properties Is tcp/ip filtering enabled? If YES, than make sure you permit port 443 ------------------------------------------ If you still have the problem make sure that any program that communicates with the internet is NOT configured to use port 443. IIS by default uses port 80 FTP servers usually listen on port 21 Verify that nothing uses port 443 including VPN software P2P software, Hotline etc... Best of luck.. Stang
