Post subject: https sites won't load in aol browser, dns not working in IE Archived from groups: alt>aol, others (more info?)
I have a user who is having problems with her browser, she has AOL 9.0
and Dials up to the Internet
Https sites Won't load under AOL browser.. For example clicking
settings on the taskbar gives page cannot be displayed.
The other strange thing that happens is after aol is minimized,
Opening up IE 6 gives an error msg about no internet connectivity and
"DNS error" is listed at the bottom... when trying to access any
website site. If I type in the actual IP address of a website however
it will load in IE 6. I upgraded to IE 7 over a friends broadband
connection but experienced the same result.
I've ran the latest version of CCleaner, WinsockXPfix.exe, full scan
with Spybot S&D 1.52 & updates and it finds nothing.... She is using
Symantec Corporate v10 w/ latest definitions
I was able to get symantec liveupdate working again by manually
putting an entry in the hosts file.
So to summarize... DNS appears not to work anywhere across the machine
unless you are using the Aol browser... and HTTPS doesnt work within
the aol browser. The only thing I stumbled upon close to this error
msg was from this site http://www.duxcw.com/faq/win/xp/secure.htm
which mentions about halfway down:
"One more thing to try, that I didn't see mentioned here was to check
to see if FIPS compliant encryption algorythms were enabled or not. I
have found that enabling this feature will often cause HTTPS sites not
to load, and report a DNS error. To check this option go to
Control Panel > Administrative tools > Local Security Settings
Open up Local Policies > Security Options
Verify that "System Cryptogrophy: Use FIPS compliant algorythms for
encryption" is set to disabled.
You will need to restart the system for this to take effect."
However this machine is XP home and local security settings wasn't an
option under admin tools... and I searched the reg for this key and
system cryptogrophy was already set to disabled..
So Basically I'm stumped
Thanks in advance for any insight you might have...

Perhaps it should really be enabled?
Did you try a clean reboot?

Dude, you must live way out in the sticks or something. In many (perhaps most?) areas, broadband is cheaper than dial-up now. -Dave

I've never seen broadband for $9.92.
Maybe $14.95, but that's an introductory bait price. They lure you in
like a fish.
Some providers may offer a bottom of the barrel price, but the speed
is so low, it's not much better than dialup. It's just a lure to get
you hooked, and later upgraded to a higher priced package.
The ongoing price for broadband is typically $30 - $50. How many
providers have a *permanent* price significantly lower than $29.95?.
And who are they? Can you provide any data points?
Comparing the real price, a dialup user saves between $240 and $480
per year. If you have money to throw away, maybe that won't matter to
you. But many people are going into debt just to pay their monthly
bills, and need to find small savings wherever they can. Finding many
small ways to save can make a big difference.

Or Japan? I don't know if we can even get dial-up over here
anymore. I have ASDL because I live outside the Fiber limit for NTT,
but I could go with Energia and IP over the power lines. The Energia
plant is only a click (1km) or so from my house.
Yeah, net neutrality is really helping the US internet market.
