Re: "Page not available" message on secure sites

Are you using a proxy server? (tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab >
Lan Settings)

If you are, check that the Secure port is configured to 443, or that your
Proxy supports the ports that the website is running on.

Alternatively check with your ISP as they may be running a 'Transparent
Proxy'. I found out that here in the UK, Blueyonder (by Telewest) run a
Transparent Proxy for their internet service. On the odd occasion this
internet proxy had failed and prevented internet access. The work around was
to explicitly specifiy a proxy. Again in the UK, BTInternet provide a proxy
server that can be used by non-BT Customers, this would probably very slow if
you are US-based though as your internet traffic would have to come all the
way down the pipe us, then back all the way across to the US.

Hope this helps.
