didn't think i'd have to ever post for assistance but...

I can browse fine, but in four browsers, make that five over two OSes, I can't browse to secure sites.

These being IE 6 (x2), Firefox 1.0.x (x2) and Mozilla 1.7.
The two OSes are WinXP Pro (SP2) and Win Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. (One machine)
I did browser maintenance on a couple, got sick of doing the remainder.

I'm actually getting bored, not being able to check these secure sites. Heh :\

I'm starting to think it's actually my connection, but I don't feel like bothering the grave guys (my connection is through the ISP I work for).

Anything else that you girls/guys could think of?
Oh yeah, disconnected and reconnected. Obviously rebooted, in order to swap OSes.

edit: problem solved. port forwarding on ports 1024-5000 i had disabled. re-enabled them, works like a charm.

Did you try bypassing your router and connect directly to the cable/dsl/whatever you are using? Routers blow now and then.

[sketchydave.livejournal.com]

Yup, that'll do it

Ta dude.
Hadn't thought of it until I couldn't log into IRC. Seemed a bit strange.

I do that kinda thing all the time. I keep my firewalls at home tight and I only open up holes for certain applications when I need it. Like bittorrent, VNC, etc. But then I forget, try to run them, and wonder why it won't work.

[110billion.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Can't say I do it all that often. Didn't have access to a router which worked properly til more recently :P

A Perfect Cirlce does a cover of Let's Have a War? Weird.

[110billion.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Tis on their latest album, Emotive, which mostly sucked.

Reminds me of when my old supervisor called up to report his dsl not working... didn't have the router plugged in. DOH.
