   Hello.   
      
   How come I cannot connect to https://github.com/ in 2 different    
   machines' Windows XP Pro SP3's IE8 web browsers? They show:   
      
   "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage   
        
      What you can try:   
       Diagnose Connection Problems    
       
        More information   
      
   This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:   
      
   ???Internet connectivity has been lost.   
   ???The website is temporarily unavailable.   
   ???The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.   
   ???The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's    
   domain.   
   ???There might be a typing error in the address.   
   ???If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet    
   Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols    
   are enabled under the security section.   
      
   For offline users   
      
   You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.   
   To view subscribed feeds   
      
   1.Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the    
   feed you want to view.   
      
   To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)   
      
   1.Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.   
   2.Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the    
   page you want to view."   
      
      
   Is anyone seeing this problem too? I don't know what to change in the    
   IE's options. Thank you in advance. :)

   Quote of the Week: "The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down    
   thy vanity, it is not man... Made courage, or made order, or made    
   grace,... Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green    
   world what can be thy place... In scaled invention or true artistry,...    
   Pull down thy vanity,... Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone    
   your elegance." --Ezra Pound's poem
