Hello, I am having some issues with initial set and config. I was having problems getting the ezconfig routine to work through the serial cable connection. The switch would not accept any IP I tried until finally it did take one (192.168.1.14 255.255.255.0) after multiple tries.
So anyway, I before changing to this static IP, I could connect into the switch using my browser when the switch has the default IP (169.254.x.x 255.255.0.0) but now, I cannot get connected to the switch with this static IP...
From the Netgear web interface User Manual... 'If you did not change the IP address of the switch from the default value, enter 169.254.100.100 into the address field.'
169.254.100.100 is the default IP assigned to the switch from the factory. When I opened up and removed the switch from the shipping box, I tried this 169... IP and immediately was able to connect to the browser-based management interface. (with no internet traffic on the switch)
Now, I have successfully (after a bit of problems) changed the switch IP to 192.168.1.14. (via the serial connector). I can get on the internet, connect to other computers on the network, print... Everything else seems to work fine, however I cannot connect to the web management interface anymore.
If there is something else more fundamental about the whole thing that I am missing about how this works, or if 192.168.1.14 is the wrong 'type' of IP to assign for connecting to the web interface, pls tell me more specifically.
