https:// problem?

badnbusy · 05-01-2004, 19:51

I cannot get to any https:// site. All http:// ones are working fine! I've tried changing proxy, but that then gives me no browsing at all!

e.g. https://shop.o2.co.uk/cgi-bin/o2uk/j...nt/MyBill2.jsp

https://www.google.com/adsense

No probs here mate.
Have you checked your DNS settings?
primary 194.168.4.100
secondary 194.168.8.100

found mine were different a while ago, after reset no probs.

more likely to be proxy server probs, chk the robin walker site out.

Phoned Faults today who sent a signal to the box, which made it take the image from their update server again. All is well on that front

I know nothing on my PC is wrong as I was using a https:// site at the time it died. But now nothing https:// wise works!

DNS is fine and i've tried several proxies. Im going to call Tech Support. Thanks

Before you get stuck on the phone.. it's worth checking that you've not blocked https with a software firewall (zonealarm/kerio.. etc)

The port is usually TCP port 443.

Also, you could check that you've set your internet explorer proxy settings correctly.
On the image below I've highlighted the important bits.
You need to route secure (https) traffic to the same address as the first line.
You set it by checking the box indicated with another red arrow

Don't forget, the proxies have been turned off in the N/West for a long time now..

Just checked on "AllNetools" which reports no proxies.
I am in your area and have had no problems accessing my online bank etc.

07-01-2004, 16:02

so does that just mean no pages ae being cached in your region?

and how does that affect routing?

ohhh so many questions...

I have just tried the O2 link and accessed it, although it was rather slow and it attempted to install a spyware cookie, but Pest Patrol blocked it.

I have had a few problems with DNS recently and specified 2 that th'eng gave me. These worked fine for a week then they became even worse than the Ntl ones. I have switched to Zen DNS at the moment ( I have a dial up acc with them as well as NtlBB). At the moment they seem fine.
It could be worth a try.
Zen DNS. 212.23.8.1
212.23.8.6
