• Be sure you are using the correct cable:

— When connecting the firewall’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that

was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard

straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface

If you are unable to access the firewall’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local

network, check the following:

• Check the Ethernet connection between the PC and the firewall as described in the previous

section.

• Make sure your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the firewall. If you are using the

recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to

192.168.0.254. Refer to “Verifying TCP/IP Properties“ on page C-5 or “Configuring the

Macintosh for TCP/IP Networking“ on page C-6 to find your PC’s IP address. Follow the

instructions in Appendix C to configure your PC.

Note: If your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:

Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the

computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of

169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the PC to the

firewall and reboot your PC.

• If your firewall’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address,

clear the firewall’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the firewall’s IP address to

192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in “Using the Default Reset button“ on page 8-7.

• Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet

Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded.

• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.

• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is

admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this

information.

If the firewall does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration Interface, check the

following:

• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the APPLY button before moving to

another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.
