can you post your config.  usually from default config it should work.  but it depends on the dhcp settings for DNS you use to.  once you post your config, i can tell you if the config is right or not though.

access-list inside_access_in (or whatever your inside access-list name is) extended permit tcp <inside_net> 255.255.255.0 any eq https

You also might want to think about creating object-groups that has a list of globally allowed ports to be accessed from the inside.  That will cut down in the number of ACLs you have.

Here is my config, The HTTPS has been able to connect on a few sites but takes well over 5 minutes to load.
My public IP has been Starred for security

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

just for clarification are you talking about internal people going to https sites? or external people going to your https server?

According to the acls the traffic is definitely allowed, so I'd be betting on layer 1 or 2 issues.  when you run a 'sh int' do you see any interfaces where there are errors?

Internal People going to HTTPS sites.

Don't see any errors, here's the result

Everything worked prior to replacing a Netgear firewall with this PIX 501.

personally, I'd also get rid of the following

fixup protocol ftp 444
fixup protocol http 440-444


for one they overlap, and cover ports that don't typically match up with those protocols.  Beyond that I'm thinking it should be good.
