Thanks Scott, your advice solved the installation problem I was having. for anyone else with this problem in the future, connect a separate PC to the firewall (in my case a CAT5 cable between the PC's network card and the firewall's). If you typically use DHCP on the PC running microsoft windows; shell out to dos-start menu, run, cmd <enter> and use netsh to first change from dhcp to a static ip (the command is: netsh interface ip set address name="the name of your local area connection goes here" source=static) and then set the ip address to be on the same subnet as the firewall (i.e. I set my green interface to 192.168.1.1, so i set my pc to .25 -- here is the command: netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=192.168.1.25 mask=255.255.255.0). There might be additional ways to set a static IP in the various windows os's.
...you can determine the name of your network connection (if you dont know it) in dos via this command: ipconfig /all once the static ip is set, launch a browser and type in the ip address of the firewall (http://192.168.1.1 or whatever you set the green interface to). Once you access the web configuration app on the firewall, don't miss the Help button on top - it is kinda easy to miss, but provides great context-sensitive help. ----------------------------- Scott Silva wrote: > > on 1/22/2008 3:11 PM CrimsonHarlequin spake the following: >> Thanks for your reply ComEd.
