Unable to reach this site under Win 95 but able under Win 2000

[sumgait]

I work in a government agency in technical support.

We have a staff of about 220 people. The majority of staff use Windows 95. A few staff use Windows 98 (Toshiba laptops)and Windows 2000.

All staff use Internet Explorer 5.5

We are behind a firewall.

All Windows 95 staff can "not" get to this following website:

http://www.ex-rhkp.net

(this is an alumni site put together by a former member of the Royal Hong Kong Police department). It looks like something is blocking them.

Now all Windows 98 and Windows 2000 users (who are also behind the same firewall) can get to this site with no problem at all!! It display within a few seconds.

This seems strange to me.

Can a website be put up that stops windows 95 users from accessing it but would allow windows 98 win 2000 users?

Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

Been aeons since i've used 95..but have you checked IE's security settings? No certificates are assigned to this page, and it seems your 95 machines do not trust it. Go into your Internet Explorer Options, and make sure all settings are identical to your 98/2k machines, and maybe even d/l Java Virtual Machine for this one.

It's a longshot - but why not make sure? Please let Tek-Tips members know their posts were helpful. Thanks!

It could be using a higher encryption level than the web browsers in 95 are using. Check help about in IE 5.5 and view the cipher strength.
