MODSSL - Internet Explorer problems with dial up users.

Hi List!

I'm having a problem with MODSSL specific to 128-cipher strength IE browsers for users who access our college web site via dial-up. The sites certificate authority is Verisign. The Apache server (1.3.19) runs a Windows 2000 server and is used to access a database using mod_plsql.

SSL encryption works fine for all computers and browsers (IE and Netscape) that are wired to our campus network. Dial-up users with IE 128-bit strength browsers receive "Page cannot be displayed". These users can reach the secure site (encryption icon locked), but have difficulty after entering a user ID and PIN. If they are lucky enough get past the login they usually have problems anytime they attempt to submit parameters. Dial-in Netscape users do not have a problem.

My config file has all the necessary IE environment modifications.
In virtual host area: SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
And in the area: BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

I find it confusing that I can use IE 6 on my laptop on the network and not have a problem, yet when I dial in it does not work.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks,
