Prosafe Plus Configuration Utility - HTTP request error

Hello oek, 

Welcome to the community! 

It could be a different case now compared to what was mentioned in this thread, the Win10 is a newer OS and had some changes. We need to know the following: 

• Model and version of your unit. 
• Firmware version
• Utility version

Looking forward to your response. 

Thanks, 

I have almost the same problem with a twist, the configuration utility works immediately after it's installed, one time and one time only. However, the web interface works OK for me, so I have uninstalled the configuration utiliy.

After installing the configuration utility it will run ONE time only. If I quit and try to re-run it I get this error: "a fault occurred contacting the server. fault message is http request error". If I uninstall the the configuration utility  and reinstall it, it will again work for the first time only! Netgear, I'm using the lastest Windows Pro 10 with all updates, the latest firrmware 2.00.07 (the switch is brand new, arrived yesterday and is a v3).

I've removed the application and decided to simply use the web interface and I would suggest everyone with this problem do the same thing if possible.

IMO, this looks like a bug in the configuration software to me :( I believe more testing is needed by Netgear. Even when I get the error from the configuration utility I can successfully access the switch from the web interface. On my system the ICS service is not running but I do use Hyper-V and have serveral virtual machines (none of which were active during the investigation of this problem). Since the web interface is sufficient for my needs, I will not spend any more time trying to diagnose this.
