Hi Phil,
i regret so much your problems while trying to use Vista with AstLinux. I
think this won't serve you but Vista sucks. I want to mean that Vista have a
lot of minor issues that avoid you use your pc as you want and when you
want.
Last time i used Windows i used to use PuTTY for terminal purposes, TeraTerm
for terminal purposes and Filezilla to transmit files. That configuration
worked for me. Of course i used at most Windows 2K/2K3.
In linux i used to use minicom for terminal and plain ssh for console
access. Web access thru Mozilla Firefox.
Be sure your routint table is working fine. Sometimes some linux programs
puts some chains transparently in iptables and this avoids you to use your
pc as you want. A good idea is to check at any time that iptables is not
working: iptables -n -L. This command should present all available chains in
Accept state.
After that check that AstLinux ip address corresponds to the ip range you
are defining in your network, or at least you have a routing device in
place.
AstLinux works in SSL mode (port 443), so try to access the web interface
using https://<ip_address>.
If you have further doubs don't hesitate write here.
Regards and happy new year 2008,
Jonathan GF
