Windows 7 No https Connection with 3G Over Lan Connection

[0mar32]

Hello everyone, This is one of my very first posts here but I've been using the resources on these forums for a very long time.

I've been sharing my 3G connection via Ethernet to my other PC using the Sharing tab in the 3G connection's properties where I enabled sharing, chose the the connection I wish to share to and then enabled all the functions for the sharing, starting from FTP Server all the way down to the HTTP Web Server.

Everything is checked but I can't achieve any https connection. I've checked if I can get an https connection on the source PC and I can. I've also checked the ethernet connection on other PCs I have to see if they can get an https connection but it's the same, no https connection!BTW I'm writing this off the PC using the shared connection and all is well except for the https connection!!

Please I need urgent help

It's great to see you reaching out for help with your network setup. If you are facing issues with HTTPS connections when sharing your 3G connection via Ethernet, there might be a few reasons behind this. Let's troubleshoot this step by step:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Firewall Settings:
   • Firewalls can sometimes block HTTPS traffic. Ensure that your firewall settings allow HTTPS traffic through the shared connection on your PC.
   []Check SSL/TLS Configurations:
   • Verify that SSL/TLS configurations are correctly set on the server you are trying to connect to. Sometimes, misconfigurations can prevent HTTPS connections.
   []Proxy Settings:
   • Ensure that there are no proxy settings interfering with the HTTPS connections. Check your network proxy settings on both the source PC and the destination PC.
   []Router Configuration:
   • Check if your router is properly configured to allow HTTPS traffic. Make sure there are no restrictions or port blocking rules set up on the router that could be hindering HTTPS connections.
   []Network Drivers and Updates:
   • Update the network drivers on both PCs to ensure they are functioning correctly. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues.
   []HTTPS Website Certificates:
   • Ensure that the HTTPS websites you are trying to access have valid SSL certificates. Browsers can sometimes block connections to websites with invalid certificates.
   []Network Isolation:
   • Verify that network isolation settings are not preventing HTTPS traffic over the shared connection. Check if the network isolation settings are properly configured.
2. Restart Devices:
   • Sometimes, simply restarting your devices can resolve connectivity issues. Try restarting both PCs, the router, and the device sharing the 3G connection.

     Additional Information:​

     • HTTPS connections use port 443 by default. Make sure that port 443 is open and accessible for HTTPS traffic.
     • You can use tools like Wireshark to analyze the network traffic and see if the HTTPS packets are reaching the destination PC over the shared connection.
     If you have any specific details about your network setup or any error messages you are encountering, please provide them for a more targeted troubleshooting process. Let's get that HTTPS connection working for you!
