Can't view some web sites - HELP 1

[SSJpn]

I can't view some web sites. I think it has something to do with sending passwords over a SSL site because I can't log into hotmail or my university email.

My security is set to medium-low.

What else could be the problem? please help.

Thanks,

SSJpn

First, check your date and time.

OK, but what am I looking for?

 

[SSJpn]

Are you saying that if the date and time are incorrect than I cant send passwords over SSL site?

what Browser are you using and what version? with IE you have to have 128- cipher strength to beable to log on to secure websites. also if you happen to have any firewall software running in the background (like norton internet security) that can cause some websites to be inaccessable.

Many secure sites won't let you log on if your computer's date and time aren't correct.

 

[SSJpn]

Date and Time are correct.

I'm using IE 5.00. Windows 98.

This problem never existed before. I don't think any programs were installed or removed. The problem just started.

I just did Help -> About Internet Explorer

It says my Cipher-Strength is 0-bit.

What do I do to get the 128 bit cipher strenght?

 

[smah]

Go to windows update and update to IE 5.5.

 

[SSJpn]

Done and done. works just like new.

Thanks smah!
