Hi All,
First post on here so please bear with me. I’m a complete noob when it comes to OS X having just recently splashed out on a macbook pro after building and running windows machines for years. It takes a bit of getting used to, but so far I’m really liking it, speed, stability etc are all great. I’m struggling with one thing though:
I’m currently away on business in India and have taken my mac and my windows (business) laptop with me. Wireless networking from the guesthouse is via a static IP address and internet access is via a proxy server. Both Mac and Windows machines are configured to access the net fine, but for some reason the mac will not load https sites – I get a page not found or not connected to the internet error.
The same websites are fine on the windows machine. On the Mac I’ve tried Firefox as well as Safari – no joy, I’ve disabled the OS X firewall, no joy, I’ve deleted the cache and reloaded – still nothing. I will not be able to change any router or lan firewall settings as it is a corporate network. This shouldn’t be necessary though as it works on the windows machine.
This is frustrating as I need access to my webmail and other secure sites as I’ll be away on business for 2 months. Skype works fine on both machines once configured to use the proxy server.
Any help to solve this will be most appreciated.
Thanks
Daz
