View Full Version : Bizarre Windows Server 2008 Router question

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but I had a strange question that I have not been able to solve. I've set up a NAT using Windows Server 2008 for my home network. Everything is ok...except one site that uses SSL. With Firefox, I get the following error (sometimes):

"the authenticity of the received data could not be verified."

Sometimes it sorta works, sometimes it doesn't work at all. When I try IE, I don't get that specific error, but it either seems to load partially, or doesn't load at all. All the machines on the network have the same problem EXCEPT for the Windows Server 2008 box...no problems (since that's the machine that has the IP). I've turned off the firewall completely on the router to see if that made any difference, but that doesn't do anything.

One thing to note is that this site uses 256 bit encryption. All the other sites that I've been have been 128 bit. I'm not sure if it's related or what, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried importing the certificate to your trusted certificate store? And adding the site to your trusted zone?

Would that make any difference? Before I set up the router, I had a regular old dlink wireless router and had zero problems with the site. Which makes me believe there's some odd configuration thing that I've missed. But I've looked at many of the documentation/tutorials on how to set it up and they have no mentioned anything special regarding SSL routing.

Thanks
