It is probably because the server cert expired, and you then replaced it
with a new one - unfortunately, the database within your browser is not
clever enough to cope with this, so it get confused when you
subsequently connect to a server with the same name, but a different
cert. Just go to Security/Certificates/Web Sites and delete it's entry
(assuming we're talking Netscape here).
