I was viewing web page which offered me the option to download its
program, when I clicked on the link it gave me the following error message:

ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: https://dmnit.securesites.com:443 

The following error was encountered: 

ERROR 704 -- NetCache is not configured for SSL/SNEWS or other
tunnelling requests. 
This means that: 

    Your browser is configured for SSL requests (for example, https or
SNEWS) but NetCache is not. This prevents SSL requests from being
completed. Please contact your system administrator.



I don't understand what this actually means. Does this mean I have an
incorrect setting in my browser, and if so how do I rectify it?

Thanks for all help offered!

hmm you've got your proxy server settings wrong. Open up internet
explorer and sleect the connection tab click on the advanced button in
the proxy server settings and make sure that the secure and SOCKS fields
are NOT filled in, including the port bits. Also try reading the demon
FAQ on proxy servers.
