static IP address does not save, says "argument missing"

Hi,

Every time I enter the static ip info I got from my ISP, I click apply and it doesn't save it.

At the top of the screen it says "argument missing".

I do not see any blank area that I could add more info...it just fauils to save my entries.

I have the latest firmware installed.

This is kind of urgent, any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Roy

    Hi shieldcomputer,

     

    Welcome to our community!

     

    It seems that you were having a problem assigning a WAN IP on your firewall. May you be able to attach some screenshots of the configuration page before hitting apply? So that we can check if there is something that we need to add. You may just blur the IP for security reasons.

      Same here trying to change from "get dynamically from ISP" to use static IP I get "Argument Missing"

      only corky thing seems to be the IP address is the same as gateway and subnet is all 255 (/32)
