[newbie] Aargh: Internet Explorer HTTPS = DNS fail
Does somebody recognize a strange error a friend is having while making HTTPS attempts to connect to his bank with IE (Never thought i'd be asking this one here). IE returns an Error Page with no number (like 404) The page advises it could be caused by - site temporarily unavailable - slow connection - incorrect address - site doesn't exist (Sounds 404ish doesn't it) He was previously connecting OK to this site. It does still exist. All Security settings are checked on in Tools Internet Options Advanced tab Security (SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0). I did see a momentary request for http://https://web.site.name, Which may be the problem, or it may be an attempt to re-lookup after the initial failure. My second course of action is to reload win98 for him as neither the bank nor his ISP could help. Loading Mandrake for him is not an option as he is on a course which requires Word and Outlook Express (AAARGH again). -- Michael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Aargh: Internet Explorer HTTPS = DNS fail
There is an option in IE under advanced to set all default... try that.. Also set it for default security... Try it again.. then try pinging the address you are having a problem with.. then try turning off his proxy server if one is set. Then try setting up another Inet connection on the machine, see if the problem still exists... Just some stuff to try.. rgds Franki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anne Wilson Sent: Wednesday, 12 February 2003 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Aargh: Internet Explorer HTTPS = DNS fail On Wednesday 12 Feb 2003 9:46 am, Michael Adams wrote: Does somebody recognize a strange error a friend is having while making HTTPS attempts to connect to his bank with IE (Never thought i'd be asking this one here).

Under tools -- Internet Options -- Advanced tab, make sure that Show friendly HTTP error messages is unchecked. That will provide information on what the error actually is.
