Are you sure it's the firewall and not some other setting?  For example,
some of the other security settings will prevent you from loading ActiveX
controls and won't even prompt you for that.  Firewall has nothing to do
with that.  

Once you have connected to a web page via SSL, the conversation is encrypted
and the firewall either allows the TCP 443 connection or it doesn't.  Not
partially, etc.  

Troubleshooting the firewall usually starts with logging.  Have you tried
logging the firewall to see what it's doing? Do you see it dropping
connections to that page? 

You may also want to turn on script debugging to see if something is failing
before the page loads.  Finally, you may also want to put the web page into
a different security zone for testing purposes to see if some of the
security zone settings are too restrictive.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Policies that effect secure websites


I am having an issue on a windows XP SP2 where some of the secure web sites
will not come up.  I have SSL and TSL selected and we are able to connect to
our OWA server, but unable to connect a banking page for example.  Now I
checked on a windows 2000 machine and we are able to get to the page.  I
don't have anything in the policies that I see that tells IE how to handle
secure sites but then I could be missing something.  Any Ideas where to
look.

Jeff
