Is the client you are trying this from running Windows XP? Have you tried
from more than 1 external client? I have seen intermitten issues sometimes
with Windows XP clients and the page cannot be displayed for SSL pages. Also
you mentioned that you have assigned port 80 & 443 to the internal NIC of
the server? Does the server also have an external nic to which the public ip
address is bound to? Or do you have a firewall and are Nating? Have you
verified dns?
