Help my friend with his computer problems...

[JonTheBaller]

He cannot connect to secure servers (https) in IE or Firebird. Any ideas?

His firewall is blocking the https port for some (unknown) reason? Or perhaps he doesn't accept security certificates from anywhere?

Hmm, any specific things to check?

Last time I checked, security certificates are handled by the browser. If he tried two, I would basically rule that out because the odds of both rejecting them by default is quite low.

I'm leaning toward port 443 being closed.
