Win98 unable to connect to secure and download sites
Hello again, I`m having some trouble with my old Windows 98 based laptop.
(I know its not ME but they are basically the same and there does not seem to be a 98.network_web group on my server.) The machine can connet to normal websites (google.com, microsoft.com etc) without a problem. However, when I try and do any of the following I get errors. 1) Connect to my banks secure online banking facility or log onto yahoo mail using the secure log in. (instantly goes to "page cannot be displayed" ) 2) Connect VIA MSN messenger, I get "We were unable to sign you into .NET Messenger service, possibly because of a problem with the service or with your Internet connection. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet. 0x81000301" 3) Install IE6 SP1 - I went through the MS Knowledge base for a solution to this problem and one of the suggestions was to install IE6 Service Pack 1. I think the machine already has IE6SP1 installed (it is version 6.0.2800.1106) but I decided to try it anyway. When I try to intall it, I get past the first step (Install now - typical set of components or Install Minimal) Then I get "Setup was unable to download information about available installation sites" 4) Run windows update - I get passed the "checking for the latest version of the windows update software" screen into scan for updates. I hit scan for updates and it takes me to "Windows Update Error" with error code 0x800C0005 I can however - Download the new version of MSN messenger - Sign in with Yahoo mail on standard sign in. - connect to Yahoo messenger. Checking the computer over generally everything seems normal except there seems to be two entries for TCP/IP (both bound to my network adaptor) under control panel/network/configuration tab. Any suggestions from you guys and girls would be welcome because I seem to have tried everything I can find in knowledge base. Thanks Matt |

This looks very much as if your security settings are screwed......
you seem to be unable to log into secure site, but are OK on 'insecure' ones. If you go to IE, and click on Help|About - what does it show for your encryption level??? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Matt Buxton" wrote in message ...
