I can't connect to secure websites including Microsoft

Hi folks, well as you may have seen I had a bit of a job getting my 865 connected to the network/web at all, but I did!
Now I have a bizarre problem which though I have found some info on have not found a solution.
Let me just state that most people who seem to have had this prob are on XP SP". I am on XP SP1.
I am getting a page cannot be displayed if I try to connect to any Microsoft site, ie hotmail, msn or mcrosoft iysel. I also can't connect to Ebay.
I can connect to yahoo and my internet bank account.
I have virus aand spyware checked
I don#t have a firewall.
I am on a dialup connection via a wireless network via a wireless network.
I have tried all the solutions I have seen on the microsoft site.
I will stop there in case this really is the wrong place to post this. However, it is a problem I don't have on any of the other computers on the network which includes XP, 98, laptops and desktops.
Interested in your comments, cheers, Epirb.

Hi Guys,
Yes, I have tried all the steps on the belkin site, they are the same as the microsoft suggested.
I cannot check the verisign one, it will not load on the mega, it does so on all other computers on the network.
Yes I can get a sucessful connection to all sites with an ad hoc connection throught the host PC with a crossover cable.
ALL firewalls disabled whilst I sort this out.
Have not chased up the MTU issue, I am fairly convinced it is a red herring with a tiscali dial up connection (Ie no broadband, no AOL)
I have upgraded the firmware on my USR wireless acess point.
It has been not only a pain but made no difference.
I have tried various different network configurations, all to no avail.
I have a further question though. It seems that all the troubleshooting advice that I have been following relates to problems connecting to secure sites, ie ones with the prefix https:// I cannot connect to some http:// sites either, ie Ebay hotmail or plain old microsoft. Am I missing something here?
Anyone here with nothing better to do than review all this post and suggest where I may be missing something so very obvious it is embarrasing?
Thanks for continued interest, Epirb.

Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:

Can't connect to some websites but internet is working

My internet is working but I can't connect to some websites ( various university) when I disconnect the time capsule and connect directly from the modem then it works. Internet provider said it was a problem with my time capsule...
I restored to factory settings and unplugged/ plugged 100 times. Even created new network.
Don't know what else to do...
Anyone out there with a similar experience??
Thanks!

Hi, barcenas. Welcome to the forums!
Check your TC's DNS settings. Try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Does this allow you to connect to the websites?

I cannot connect to secure websites! How do I fix it?

I was going to do some homework on Google Docs, and the login page would not load! It would simply try to connect for a while, then time out.
After some experimenting, I noticed this happened with all secure web pages (https://), and that non-secure websites (http://) loaded fine. This happens in all browers. I tested Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Now, this only happens on my user account. This does not happen on my moms account, which I am currently on.
We initially thought it was an issue with the parental controls, so we completely disabled them. But the problem still persists. I am very confused and would love some help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Suddenly can't connect to certain websites

This week I discovered that I am unable to connect to several websites I am accustomed to visiting frequently. These are not 404 errors. Safari and Firefox both give me the message that they "can't connect to the server," and Netscape says the "connection was not accepted." The problem websites I discoverd so far are nytimes.com, daypop.com, democracynow.org
I had monkeyed with some of my system settings including activating the firewall which I deactivated with no better results. I cannot remember if there
was anything else I did which could affect the web connections. I repaired permissions just in case--no change. It was suggested that I make one of the problem sites my home page on Safari--that did no good.
I sent a message to the NY Times via webmast@nytimes. com asking if there was some reason I should suddenly have a problem connecting--it didn't get spit back at me, but it has yet to be answered.
Out of ideas as to what else to try. Any help out there?
Thanks.

Uh-oh. Very bad that so far NO ONE has any idea how to help. I've put up the question on a couple of Mac site forums which got me to the Network Utility. I tried using it but for the most part can't interpret the results. If posting them will enlighten anyone, I'd be glad to do that.
Someone suggested that I needed to use a different DNS. Now I'm into territory I don't really understand. I went to my ISP's support website and found the addresses of the primary and secondary DNS. My TCP/IP settings didn't require that I input any DNS address, but armed with them, I entered the secondary address and tried to connect again, but no luck.
Aaarghhh!

My computer will only connect to secure websites.

For some reason, I can only connect to websites that have https (no http or www sites).

What happens if you try to use non-secure web sites? Is there an error message or do you just get a blank web page?
Best of luck.

I can't access this secure website with the new fireforx upgrade but I could before the upgrade.

As above. What can I say-I have tried everything listed on the support forum website. I had no problem accessing this secure website, which is my work email, before I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. I would prefer not have to go back to the previous version if possible. I don't like IE because it is just too slow, but right now I have to use it to access this website. I have windows firewall and have allowed firefox.exe as an exception. Any suggestions as this is very frustrating. Thanks

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

Can't connect to HSBC website

This is weird but I can't connect to the www.hsbc.com.au website on my mac – I get an error that says "Safari can't open the page because because Safari can't connect to the server hsbc.com.au"
- I am running OSX Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.2
- I have no firewall or antivirus
- All other websites are working on the mac
- I CAN open the site from other computers in the house
- It doesn't seem to be a Safari issue as the site won't open in internet explorer through Parallels either
- The problems seem to have started when I turned on the firewall and installed Avast but I have deleted Avast and turned the firewall off with no success
Any suggestions guys?

Hi Everyone,
My connection with HSBC was fine, then I played with the OSX firewall and it became intermittant and finally became unaccessable.
I tried a few things that didn't work, but here are some things that did:
- Run through a proxy: System Preferences>Network>Advanced>Proxies and added my proxy under Web Proxy (HTTP) and Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS). My ISP provided me with their proxy, and it shouldn't be hard to find yours.
Not happy with using the proxy I kept going and the latest solution (with proxies disabled) is to go to the OSX firewall: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall turn it on (you may need to click the lock button to make changes), the go into Firewall Options hit the + sign and navigate to, select, and click 'Add' for your web browser and make sure it says 'Allow incoming connections'.
So far so good...

Can't connect to secure servers

For some reason, at some point during the middle of the day, Safari quit being able to access secure websites. I can't for the life of me figure out the problem. I didn't install anything new, and I've already run disk utility (All permissions are repaired) and zapped the PRAM, but no change. It's definitely a problem with the computer's software because I've reset my modem and downloaded Firefox, which CAN connect to secure servers. Though, in addition to Safari, Mail is having the same issue, and I can't access my Gmail accounts through it. In all my years of using Safari, nothing like this has ever happened. Any ideas as to what's going on?
PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) Mac OS X (10.3.9) 667 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD

I'm not sure about Panther and the content of the related certificates found in Keychains. The key is getting the certificates back. Incidentally, G-mail is an https site, so that too would be affected by the same issue.
The certificates are installed as part of the OS X installation. One possible avenue is to reapply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. This update may install a new keychains file. Make sure you "repair permissions" after running the Installer. Do not use the computer while the installation is running.

Can't connect with security enabled

We want to have the strongest security available for our home's wireless network.
I have an iBook 500 dual usb, OS 10.4.8 with the original Airport card it came with. (Card firmware 9.52)
I also have a Airlink101 Mimo XR, model AR525W, 802.11G Wireless Router.
I easily get great wireless connections when no security is enabled with the iBook and Airlink. I can even connect way out in the street or even a few houses down.
However, when WPA2 Personal is set for the network, the iBook 500 will not connect. I get a message window stating, "The wireless network "Airlink" does not support the requested encryption method".
(My Mac Mini 1.66 Ghz, Core Duo has no problems connecting via Airport when the WPA2 Personal is enabled)
When I open internet connect on the iBook and choose "other" for the network,
I have the security choices listed below:
NONE
WEP Password
WEP 40/128-bit hex
WEP 40/128-bit ASII
LEAP
WPA Personal
WPA Enterprise
WPA2 Personal
WPA2 Enterprise
802.1x WEP
The security choices for AirLink101 Wireless router:
WEP
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
WPA2 Mixed
WPA
WPA2
802.1x
disable
I have set the iBook's MAC address properly. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

You're not doing anything wrong, as far as I can tell.
Your 5-year-old iBook is simply not WPA2-compatible. It takes AirPort Extreme technology to use WPA2. The original AirPort card can't manage it.

Can't connect to a website WRT54G v5

Ok All was fine and then one day I could not connect to a website.
www.worldofwarcraft.com to be exact.
Every time I try to go there I get, internet explorer can not display the web page. I have reset, unplugged and switched back to the default settings on my router. I am using the WRT54G v5 and I have the newest firmware v1.02.0
No matter what I can not display the page. Every where else I go I have no problem. I have 3 computers on this router one is wireless, two are plugged into the ports. All have the same problem when I try to access this site
Now if I bypass my router and just plug into my cable modem I have no problem getting to the site. It comes right up like it should as if nothing is wrong.
Any ideas or tips on fixing this would be greatly appreciated

I have the exact same problem with my WRT54GS V2 router. All connections worked fine, then one day I could no longer connect to easo.ea.com via my PS3. Then a month later I lost connection to www.golfsmith.com from all PCs. I too can connect to the site and the game server via the modem, but can't connect to or ping either one through the router. please help! I have had this issue for 3 months now. I can connect to other game servers with the PS3 and load all other web sites via the PCs.

Can't connect to certain websites from MacBookPro

I can't connect to my own website (hosted by a hosting service) from my MacBookPro. No other sites seem to be blocked; I just get an error telling me that the connection has timed out when I try to go to my site.
My son's windows machine connects over the household wifi to the site without problems. I've tried changing DNS settings, removing my network filter, repairing permissions, and am now in need of additional ideas to try.
Please help!!
