Hi All!!

I just set up a home file server on my network. I have a minor issue when using IE to run Webmin to administer the server. I get a bad security certificate error and IE won't logon to the server unless I tell it to ignore the error.
How do I make IE stop that I have tried to turn it off by changing the server ip to a trusted site and a restricted site. Neither worked properly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

An unsigned certificate will throw a prompt. You have to pay money to a certification authority (VeriSign) to get it signed and avoid the prompt.
