Computer help
Hello Boffins.
For the last couple of days whenever I try to access any"https" sites I get a DNS error.
I've tried reseting my security setting to default - no use, also altering the security slider to each position - still no joy.
Any Ideas chaps?
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hmmmmmm.
Under Internet Options-Advanced-Security you have SSL 2.0 and 3.0 enabled?
Which version of Windows are you using?

Chris,
Sounds line you are not resolving domain names.
Go to Start>Run on the command line type cmd and hit enter. A command prompt window will appear, type nslookup www.shortshouse.co.uk and it should
return the IP address 212.159.9.131
Also then type ipconfig /all and it should tell you all the IP info about your machine, one of the lines should say what your DNS servers are.
Who's your ISP?
Rich.

Here's a whole mess of Microsoft fixes:

I'd say odds are on this one; I think I had a similar problem that was fixed by recreating TCP/IP protocals:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188773
Something else you can try (maybe first, even, because it's easy) is to go to Add/Remove Programs, click on Internet Explorer, and you will
receive an option to repair it.
BoL!

Which version of explorer and have you got all the updates installed? Are you on a dialup or ADSL connection? In your TCP/IP settings are you set to
obtain an automatic IP address and DNS server address?

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I had a similar problem with Freeserve... they could not resolve it and I ended up re-installing my W98SE even though they said my DNS settings were
ok and functioning correctly. By deduction the installation disc didn't provide ALL of the dll files needed for correct communication and it
b*ggered it up.
Hope it's not this, but good luck if it is!

IIWY - I'd backup your documents and re-install W98SE. Cost me an arm and a leg with Freeserve trying to configure using DOS to no avail ~ they
had me altering my DNS settings and allsorts. Still, ended up re-installing...

1. if your behind a firewall try opening open up "Port 433".
2. Remove all dialup connections and start again
3. Try these links first dude:
