Title: Connectivity issues. Post by: droidman30 on Tuesday 01 February 2011, 02:52:58 pm I just installed 2.4 today and just as I get everything setup on my firewall. I loose my connection and get a "request time out" on my pings. One way of getting it back up and running is, rebooting the firewall. Obviously that cant be done this way.
Another issue is when I have a good ping to the firewall green interface (192.168.2.1) and attempt to access the firewall via web browser(192.168.2.1:10443), the connection drops and I get "requested time out". I have to revert to rebooting the firewall again. I am out of Idea's and need some help. Here is my layout of my network: Green 192.168.2.1/24 Blue 192.168.3.1/24 Red using DHCP I have a straight through cable running directly from the green interface NIC to the PC I have a straight through cable running from the DSL Modem to the red interface. I am not using the blue network yet. I have the basic allow traffic out to the internet. Title: Re: Connectivity issues.

Title: Re: Connectivity issues. Post by: droidman30 on Thursday 03 February 2011, 12:58:06 am I actually got it working. I uninstalled 2.4 and installed 2.3 and that did the trick. Thanks for the advice though.
