[thelist] IE/SSL Weirdness

Hi all,

We built an SSL encrypted site that works fine for every Netscape user
and virtually every IE user.  However, a certain limited number of IE
users cannot access the SSL encrypted pages and get the generic "Server
Not Found" error when trying to hit an any encrypted page.

One additional oddity: no errors and no accesses are logged on the
server when a user encounters this error, leading us to believe the
problem is on the client and not on the server.  Even weirder, the
*exact* same version and build of IE5.5 for one person gets an error,
while another gets through fine.

The articles in the MS knowledge base about an IE bug with some SSL
encrypted sites don't seem specific to this problem.

Any ideas on what might cause this?

Help appreciated!

Mark
