I use Mozilla 1.7 on Linux to do my web browsing, including connections to secure sites.
1. Initially, I had problems connecting to https://www.bpiexpressonline.com/direct_signin.htm. So I asked BPI for help, and they said that I sould use the link to ../direct_signinNIE.htm instead. I failed when I tried that new link. I discovered that the real culprit is my browser setting. The Ateneo computers are all behind firewalls, whether directly connected to the Net or by dial-up. I found out that the correct setting is to use the Ateneo proxies for all connections to the net: http, ftp, ssl, etc. With everything passing through the proxy, I can now connect to BPI. 2. The same setting works for https://gmail.google.com, so I can now access my gmail account. 3. I still have problems with Smart Online: https://secure.smart.com.ph/SMART/My+Wireless+Center/. I type my login ID (modile phone number) and password, and then click on LOGIN, and nothing happens. I click on LOGIN again, and nothing happens. I wait and wait and nothing happens. So I reboot to Windows 2000 and repeat the login procedure, and I get the beautiful personalized welcoming screen. Then I click on "Online Billing Statement", and I get an error screen stating "Access Denied". Why does Smart not want me to get my billing statement? So I write email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and ask for help, then I wait and wait, and nothing happens. I do not even get the courtesy of a reply. This is sad, very very sssaaaadddd.
