Thanks guys,
I was wondering when I'd get a point where it's no longer practical to run the 
client through Windows, perhaps I'm getting close.  I can connect fine over 
HTTP, but when I put in the SSL/certificate configuration no go - implementing 
the suggestions made by all.

 From what I remember, yes it does.  That is what I was referring to when 
talking about "depending on what other software is installed on the 
workstation." As I recall, when installing MS-office, it replaces the 
"mini-redirector" by its own DLL, and that changes the behaviour in a number of 
instances.
