Re: IE6 - No Shared Cipher Message



Wonderful. I found the link to: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=842607

and performed the following:

To successfully connect to a secure Web site, disable the system policy that
requires FIPS-compliant algorithms. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click
Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click Administrative Tools.
4. Double-click Local Security Policy.
5. Expand Local Policies.
6. Click Security Options.
7. In the Policy list, double-click System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant
algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.
8. Click Disabled, and then click OK.
9. Restart your computer.
