I don't think that's it, because when I do the same thing for the production
server (that is, browse the home page using a machine name or IP address) I
get exactly what you expect, that is, the certificate warning. I'm using
IE6. If I ignore the warning, I can continue browsing the site using HTTPS
as you would expect. You can try it yourself - the production site is
https://www.esimulation.com (works OK) and https://207.207.29.154 (gives
warning). I have it set up exactly the same on *.155 (as far as I can
tell), but I get a server error instead. I need to be able to point the
domain name at *.155, so I have to at least be able to get the cert warning.
I'm at a loss to why I'm getting 404-type error messages for https: when
everything seems to be configured correctly. The TechNet and MS articles
have been no help yet.
Thanks,
Chris
