GS108Ev3 refuses to connect
I have 4 GS108Ev3 switches. As they are all configured and working well I don't need to administer them often. Today I wanted to login to them - and can't. All 4 refuse to connect when I acces...

Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Your home LAN is really on the 192.168.0.x/24 IP subnet?
What does
ipconfig
show on your computer?

Yes - my LAN is 192.168.0.X - that has not changed in years.
I read all about the default 192.168.0.239 address related to these switches so I moved the device that was on that address elsewhere to free it up, just in case.Ethernet adapter Main Ethernet:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : **redacted**
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254
Because these devices respond to ping (and I know it is them and not some spurious device because they stop when I cut their power), it seems clear to me that the subnet and address issues are not the problem. Why these devices refuse browser connections is what confuses me.
