Title: Can't access web interface! Post by: dollabillz217 on Thursday 24 June 2010, 12:49:45 am Ok so I just installed EFW2.3 onto a 4 GB CF card, which is the exact same setup as my EFW2.2 firewall that I love so much. After the install was finished, the firewall boots up just fine, but I can not access the web interface via the green interface from a laptop. As a matter of fact I can't ping the firewall from the laptop and I can't ping the laptop from the firewall. I see the firewall has the correct network settings listed when I do an ifconfig, but have no idea why its not able to ping or be pinged by the laptop. Even if I just open a web browser and point to the management URL I get nothing. Any help would be appreciated

Things to try: on endian console: ping -b 192.168.1.254 ( where 192.168.1.254 is your local network broadcast address) ^c to cancel If nothing responds let the ping run and check the ethernet ports and switch for a light flashing every second. If there are no lights, probably your network IF is not working. Try also ethtool eth0 Check the network details are as expected. BTW: what ethernet chip is your network card using?

Another thought... when I installed Endian on a machine previously running IPCop, the ports on my quad-port nic were rearranged. Red & green were the same ports, but Blue & Orange were swapped. Is it possible your upgrade did something similar?
