I’m trying to test my site in IE 6 using Microsoft’s Win XP / IE 6 virtual machine image, but I’m unable to load any SSL site in either IE 6 or Firefox 2 inside of the virtual machine. Outside of the VM all sites load as expected, but inside it can’t find the sites in either browser. Non-SSL sites load fine inside the VM.

For example, the Firefox 2.0.0.20 error message is ‘Firefox can’t find the server at secure.example.com.’

Does something special have to be enabled in the VM to allow connections to SSL sites?
