If you are using IE as your browser to access that website you can use
tools/internet options/content - certificates/personal to see if that
certificate is still on your computer, has the corresponding private key,
and is valid in that it has not expired. Most likely that is not the problem
if you can access it via dial up.

I read your other post and it seems to me that the problem could be IP
address filtering on the Website or the firewall they use to protect their
network since you have the same problem on all your computers yet they all
can access other secure websites. I would contact them and tell them what is
happening to see what they say. Also verify that you are trying to access
them via a secure site which would show https in the address bar. I would
also use the nslookup command on your computers to see if the website in
question resolves to the same IP address. Just enter nslookup at the command
prompt and type the name of the website and hit enter to see what it
hows. --- Steve
