Try WireShark to sniff the connection, that may (or may not) provide clues. If it is really blocked, you'll see outgoing SYN packets with no responses (assuming it is 443 TCP, if it is UDP, that's different). If it isn't blocked, it won't help much - the traffic is probably encrypted and so you won't be able to make sense of it. j -- John Gateley <tclug at jfoo.org>
