In my case NO browser could access https sites ... If you can, substitute you modem - see if the problem goes away. Cheer John (NZ) pgpGaSKGPJunl.pgp Description: PGP signature

If it were just Linux browsers that had the problem I would suspect that you did not have openssl installed. But since it affects the Windows versions, and also Netscape which is statically linked, then I would suspect that your ISP is operating a transparent proxy server on Port 443. Although why a proxy server should refuse to work with anything but a Microsoft browser escapes me. (Unless Microsoft are your ISP!) It is possible to circumvent a proxy server by installing your own Squid proxy server and routing all your traffic to a second public parent proxy server. Such an arrangement uses different port numbers which would go around your ISPs proxy server. Unfortunately setting that up requires a fair bit of research. I would suggest that if possible you try out a different ISP (perhaps by dialup) to confirm that your current ISP is interfering with your traffic. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You haven't given enough information to make a supposition upon the cause of the issue; I would suspect that your system has been hijacked or that your connection is not properly configured. -- stephen kuhn - proprietor __ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.

Dears, Netscape, Firefox and Opera can't read any site that starts with HTTPS. They say "The operation is timed out:" This is true for Linux and Windows version of the above browsers. Unfortunately, IE has not problem to get HTTPS site. Can any one help? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
