Thanks, that took care of my problem, but one thing i
have a question about.

For the "Default Web Site" wich was created by default
when i installed Windows 2000 Advanced Server everything
works good when folowing your instructions, but when i
tried to setup "Administration Web Site" to use SSL,
everything seems to work well but i get this message
after i type https://www.companyname.com:500 (through SSL
port 500) then dialog box appears letting me know that im
switching to secure connection, then another dialog box
askes me for user name & password and after i press ok i
get this:

Microfoft internet explorer dialog box appears and in it
it sais: "Warning! You are not using a secure connection
for your Web-based administration. For more info see IIS
Documentation." and when i click "OK" botton it lets me
in to the HTML Web-based Administration home page like it
should.

My question was? does this really mean that its not
secure eaven though i setup to use SSL and in the URL
i see https://www.comanyname.com:500/iis.asp and i see a
gold lock icon in the lower right corner of my browser
that would normally mean that i'm in secured area.

Thanks in advance for your support!
