Either connect the GS105Ev2 to a network with a DHCP service (don't forget to add the MAC if this is strictly managed) restart (the Discovery Tool is your friend to find the DHCP assigned address again), or temporarily configure your computer adapter to the 192.168.0.x/24 subnet (not using the .239 of course). Now you can reach the device Web UI.
