    Default need computer help again

    my internet is being really stupid.

    it won't let me log into hotmail, ebay, and basically any secure sites. i can log into myspace etc, but anything that's secure just goes to an error page.

    i was fucking around with security settings the other day when my limewire was being an ass.

    any idea what setting i messed up and how i can fix it?

    what browser do you use? if you use IE, http://www.mozilla.com/ and get firefox if you're using firefox, you might need to goto tools > options > privacy and check "accept cookies", since afaik those sites will not work if you don't accept their cookies

    i use firefox, and i've already got cookies accepted. it's not a cookie problem, it's a problem with secure sites only

    ^ i tried it in IE too, and i have the same problem. so it's not a browser issue, it's something to do with my security settings i think

    https (secure) usually uses a different port number than http (443 instead of 80), were you fucking around with Windows firewall? What settings exactly? You might have blocked that port by accident.

    Somewhere you can tell windows info about what certificates (required for https) to accept or not accept, I think in IE you can edit this via the options, maybe poke around there too?

    I'm just trying to figure out why the one thing you'd want to do is BLOCK secure sites and keep unsecure ones!! Hahaha.

    If you mess around with the settings again and it stops working, just click on the return to default button and everything will return to normal.
