Hello All,

I have a client with a Dell Server running Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 with an SSL
cert on their website. Only one directory is configured with the cert. I can
access the website except for any link that takes me to the secure
directory. I get an error:

"The page cannot be displayed"
"The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might
be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings."

I've double-checked the settings within IIS, I've checked the firewall and
made sure there was a policy for HTTPS. I've looked through the Event Log
and found no errors. I've checked the directories for the requested files
and they're all there. I can't figure it out. The message makes it sound
like the files aren't there but they are.

I've done all I know to do. PLEASE, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Troy
