Hi,

I am evaluating hostmonitor. It works very well so far. I am experiencing one problem though. When I try to test https://members.pccarx.com:443 or https://www.wilerpcca.com:443, I get a status of 'no answer'. I can reach both of these site using ie or by ping. Hostmonitor is running on Win2k SP2, IE v.6.

Thanks,
Craig

Both sites have problems with certificates. E.g. site http://www.wilerpcca.com has certificate that was issued to http://www.pccacanada.com. You can try to enable "Accept SSL/PCT certificates with invalid host name" option located on Miscellaneous page in the Options dialog.

Regards
Alex

Thanks Alex. I set the option but I am still getting the "no answer" status. I am testing the https://www.pccacanda.com address now, bypassing the incorrect host name error. Also, the https://members.pccarx.com site always prompts the user to choose which client cert. they want to use. Do you have any other ideas I can try?

Thanks,
Craig

Today I cannot connect to both your servers using IE, Netscape or HostMonitor. There are DNS error when I try to connect to http://www.pccacanda.com (unknown host). Server https://members.pccarx.com/ give me another error: HTTP 403.7 - Forbidden: Client certificate required Internet Information Services.
Later I will try to connect to http://www.pccacanda.com again
