Secured Web Pages Not Loaded with Netscape Navigator 1.x

• Microsoft Windows 95
• Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release versions 2, 2.1

SYMPTOMS

If Netscape Navigator version 1.x is used to access secured Web pages, the background may be loaded, but individual graphic items linked to the page are not loaded. The browser seems to continue to work, but never finishes the loading of the page.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur with Netscape Navigator version 1.x when you are using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

• Upgrade Netscape Navigator to version 2.x or later.
• Use a TCP/IP protocol stack from another vendor.

STATUS

Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information about the availability of this fix.
