(Tuff-One) Secure Connection (a new twist)

I am running a mobilepro 780 current with all updates patches ext, including the 128bit update. I can access Yahoo mail over a dial up and WIFI connection (2wire Orinico)

So here is the twist

When using a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 PC Card I get the message "Can not connect to secure network" and then freezing the LAN connection

So after exhusting all posibilities in MS knowledge base , debunked Xircom (intel)Sites and even changing cat5 cables and ports I give up. Here is the best of my thinking.

The Xircom card though it works just fine for regular browsing is not cable of processing the 128bit and SSL3 SHa** certificates.

If any one can help, please I am trying to get the unit up and runing for yahoo mail for my son who will only have LAN abilities.

hmm interestign...

is it the same internet connection over lan as over wifi?

if not, have you tested any other lan card?

yes, same connection into a US robotics access point router. This has thrown me a curve. It seems that the Ethernet card is working except for secure connections (yahoo and msn mail) I have not tried another lan card for I do not have one.

Are you trying to log-in to a domain?

No, it is an open network.

What is interesting is that I I log into Yahoo using the wifi connection. I then switched to the LAN card. I was able then to navigate in yahoo mail. I then logout and tried logging in with the lan card. Same problem.

Thought: Could there be programming in 2.11 or the drivers preventing the innitial secure handshake if not logged into a domain. The wifi portion of the network is encrypted (no problems ) and when I use a dail up connection I am logging into an ISP(once again no problems.)
