Can't access default IP address; 172.16.16.16!

Hello, I am very frustrated with this bull crap about this 172.16.16.16. address! I have searched all over the web pertaining to this issue and no solutions have worked for me. I always get the error "Connection timed out". The hardware is a Dell Poweredge R310 with 8GB RAM, 4-Core Xeon processor and 200GB Storage. There ware two network ports and have tried hardlining into both of them while my PC IP was set to static 17.16.16.2. I have tried almost everything possible... please help me!

P.S. I am using the Home Edition

  • Hi :)  

    I know the thread is old but I just had the same issue.  For me it was simply not putting https://  before the ip 172.16.16.16:4444  

    I just typed the 172.16.16.16:4444 in the address bar and it did not work. as Chrome takes you to http and not https.  so make sure you put exactly "https://172.16.16.16:4444" in the address bar. Without the " ".  Your issue may be something else but that was mine :)

  • I spent days trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to webadmin (https:172.16.16.16:4444).  I will save everyone time by not listing the million things i tried.... what worked for me was make sure that the DATE AND TIME IN BIOS IS CURRENT.  worked like a charm! 

  • The home edition is problematic in every step. I thought I can use my old PC as a firewall, but I wasted several hours on this.

    initially the keyboard was not detected, then network card, then password, then something else

    I would rather go for a hardware firewall. let me try XG 85, if it doesn't work, I will try with some other vendor.

    sorry to post this!!!
