Can't access GS108E switch on Windows 10
After upgrading to windows 10 I can't access my GS108E switch. Get "A fault occurred contacting the server. Fault message is:HTTP request error". Any idea what is the problem?

I reset the switch to factory defaults & it now works in WIN10. Wish I could label each port so I know whats connected to it. It's a bummer not knowing what I connected to all 8 ports. I should be allowed to label each port with a name. Can that be done? Thanks for your help. Close the case.

Hi rstahl02,
We currently have a GS108Ev1 (yours is a GS108Ev2). Our PC has been updated to Windows 10 recently. I was able to install the latest version of the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility and it discovered our GS108Ev1 as shown on the image below. Our GS108Ev1 has the latest firmware version.

Kindly try to uninstall then reinstall the latest version of the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility v2.3.5 on your Windows 10 PC. You may download it here.
Regards,

I already had the latest software but I removed & reinstalled it. No help. This is strange. Works on your WIN10 but not mine. I put WIN10 on 3 computers and it only worked OK on one. I removed it from 2. This Dell XPS15 is the only one that has WIN10. Strange. Is there another way to access this router? I tryed direct IP but NG. Maybe I needed to add something to the IP? What is the secreat way to access this router?
