Hi all, The problem turned out to be the proxy server of my ISP,, both the telstra proxy. (my server's proxy) and my personal dialup's proxy (vianet) cause it to deny access,, however, if I disable the proxy,, it works fine,, now that is weird, as I can use https with the proxies on normally,, it must be because the proxies are checking the cert valitidy... does that sound right? regards Frank Hauptle ----/ / _ ---/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -/____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ Gshop & Network Payment Solutions. -----Original Message----- From: Dan LaBine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 22 February 2001 8:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] webmin help anyone?? Frank, I understand what you mean now. I've also had a lot more coffee since last we spoke, so I can now offer the following advice. Make sure that "httpd" is activated in your "Startup Services" ( See DrakConf ). If that's not it, I can only suggest that you re-install webmin and httpd. You've got me stumped! If you hadn't activated it from the linux box before trying to log-on remotely, then I would have suspected a lack of a security certificate, but since you have, that's not a consideration. If it's not what I've suggested, I'm hoping you can tell me when you find the answer. Good Luck! -- Dan LaBine Maximum LAN's Ltd. Registered Linux User #190712
