Web browser security setup - can't access [solved]

[rogerh]

Hello,

 

Just loaded 2010.2, and am having problems with accessing web pages. I have the firewall off, and seem to have no problems with pages that are not secure. Secure log-in pages, such as for eBay, won't load. I can get some of them finally with Chromium (in an unformatted state), but none at all with Firefox. Not sure if it is a security set-up issue, or if there are some plug-ins that are required. Do I need to add user permissions, or alter the setup in some way? I was running 2008 previously, and did not have this problem.

 

Suggestions appreciated. I think I am most of the way there on this install, but have a few bumps to get over to get the system really usable.

 

Thanks -- Roger

Are you set at "standard"?

Hello,

 

It was not set at standard, but is now. Still have the same problem, though. I actually found a post from several years ago about having to change the max system MTU from 1500 to 1492 in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to make my modem work. Forgot how to file edit and use kdesu, so some homework will be necessary......

 

thanks -- Roger

Hello,

 

Changing the MTU rate has resolved my access problems. Thanks for suggesting checking the security, since MSEC was unselected (off).

 

Regards -- Roger
