Steve,

The cert is issued by Verisign, but I didn't create it - our suppliers
did.

As for the next 2 questions, I hae no real idea of what you're meaning.

Out of interest, I have tried to browse to this site with just IE 7, and
the certificate installed in every store I can think of, and IE7 gets
refused because of no client certificate, so I'm starting to worry about
their certificate - although it appears that others can use it ok.

Funny you should ask.  Troubleshooting this issue is how I've spent the
last couple of weeks.

Is the cert issued by an issuer that is trusted by the server?

Is the CRL of the certificate visible to the server?

Is the CRL valid and up-to-date?
