Cant display secure webpage intermittently

When trying to log into a secure website the browser displays "cannot display webpage". This symptom is network wide. The issue happens intermittently. The only fix i have found is to reboot the machine. The problem goes away for about a half-hour than returns. The operating system is XP Professional service pack 2 and 3, internet explorer 6 thru 8. I tried installing Firefox and this fixes the problem for a moment and the problem returns. I tried all the fixes on Microsoft; reset browser, SFC.EXE protected files, lowered security setting, compatibilty mode. ECT.

An update!!

I have tried to ping the website and the ping times out. I have done a tracert onsite and from my home machine and the tracert stop at around 9 hops and time out. I have reset the SBS 2008 server and the firewall allows all outbound traffic.

This problem is intermittant with secure website; such as facebook, while trying to login and other financial websites when trying to login. I have reset DNS, lowered all my security setting to minimal. Firefox fixes the problem for a moment than the problem returns.

Can the same machines access the sites from another location (e.g. take one home)?

Have you tried to call your internet service provider?  Maybe they are blocking somehow.

Problem still exists, don't seem to be getting anywhere with the questions. Sharing the points to all who responded.
Have you tried a different router or maybe updating the firmware in the router?  Could be your router is malfunctioning and causing the network outages.
