[cobalt-users] [Qube 2] Firewall prohibits HTTPS connection

["Andrew Fish" <afish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are having trouble connecting to an SSL server through HTTPS when the
firewall on our Qube 2 is active.  I have tried opening up port 443 (what I
understand is the needed port), allowing ingoing and outgoing connection
that mimick the other rules I have already set up that seem to work okay.

I don't know if this matter, but our Qube does have a valid name in a DNS
server provided by our web host, not our ISP (we have a DSL connection). We
are using NAT to run our own private IP network, with the Qube using a
single IP address on the Internet.  When we try to access an HTTPS server
(e.g. for a shopping cart) the connection times out and IE reports it
"Cannot find server".

Any suggestions as to a solution?

Thanks.
