cannot login to vpn firewall fvs318 after disabling dhcp - what did i do??
Please bear with me - I am not a network expert by any means and I know just enough to be dangerous. I have had the VPN Firewall model FVS318 with 8-port switch for a long time and it has always ...
Hi gebnoidea,
Let us isolate the problem. If you connect a PC directly to any of the LAN port of the FVS318, are you able to get replies when you ping the IP address 10.0.0.233?
I look forward to your response. Welcome to the community! :)

Hi DaneA - thank you for replying!
I am typing on the PC that I just connected to a LAN port, so obviously I can get to the internet. When I ping 10.0.0.233 I get "Reply from 10.0.0.73: Destination host unreachable", although it does say that with "Ping statistics for 10.0.0.233" that it sent 4 packets and received 4 packets. I assume that 10.0.0.73 is the IP address of this very PC?
Not sure if that means it was successful or not. Again, I am not very experienced at this :)
Hi gebnoidea,
Kindly try these steps:
a. Disconnect the FVS318 from the Cisco DPC3939 wireless gateway.
b. Connect a PC directly to a LAN port of the FVS318.
c. Assign a static IP address of 10.0.0.x (x is any number from 2 to 254 except 223) on the PC.
d. Check if you are able to get replies when you ping the IP address 10.0.0.233.
I look forward to your response.
