Cannot Access Secure Sites - Comments Page 3

I have a laptop and EVERYTHING was working fine, messenger/IE/Firefox I was able to connect to https and log in to messengers. Suddenly it stopped working overnight. Between last time it worked and now, absolutely NOTHING changed. I have tried all the solutions, but nothing worked.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you connect wirelessly, the router may be at fault. Search the article and comments for details on that.

How to block HTTPs site like gmail.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: Why would you want to block access to secure sites? Or Gmail?

I have the same problem, but not only with XP. I have a home network with a Windows 98 PC wired to a router, and a Windows XP wireless connected to the same router. The router in turn connects to the IP provider through a ADSL modem.
If I connect directly to the modem (with any one of the PCs) I can navigate everything, but when I connect through the router I cannot navigate most secure sites (i.e. I can check my bank account but I cannot do transfers). Some sites even do not respond when I login.
I have checked that I am not using firewalls or filters in my router. I tried turning on just one of the computers. I tried many things, but I cannot find the problem.
:-(

removing the norton anti-virus worked!! thanks jeff k

I couldn't access any secure sites, yahoo mail, bank account, any sign-in page. I tried several things to correct the problem. It wasn't until I deleted Norton that the problem was solved.

hi, I am having a similar problem, cannot login to secure sites like facebook and msn and yahoo mail, yahoo says that my browser doesn't support cookies but i did the override automatic cookie handling thing and allowed session cookies. I reinstalled internet explorer 7 and now when i try and login to hotmail the page just refreshes. with facebook it just takes me back to the login page, i have deleted internet file, and all norton files to no avail please help i have trie everything and it says on the microsoft website that it cost 46 pounds flat fee i dont want to pay that!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like you're still blocking cookies, and there is NO reason to do that. You can try with Firefox browser...

I have tried using Firefox and I have the same problem, on Hotmail, it just says that my password is incorrect the first time, and then the second time it bounces me back to the login page and on other sites (except my bank) it refreshes back to the login page, please help! I just don't understand why I can login to my bank, but not other secure sites.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Have you disabled or limited cookies? Or do you use any well-meaning security software that does so?

I have checked and i am allowing cookies. i even took off every kind of protection that my antivirus which is McAfee and Windows had and it still does not work, I am just confused becasue my bank will log me in and even rememmbers my details for me but no other site.

try a proxy site like http://www.accessmyspacefromwork.info/
