Still can't access default IP!

ChristopherGault

Hello, I am still unable to connect to the default address with the home version of XG Firewall. I have tried everything under the book and this is just a nightmare! It appears that the DHCP server during initial setup isn't working and my network (even IP scanners) can't find any live address of 172.16.16.16, it appears not to be broadcasting anything! If I hardline into the server that is running XG and set a static IP what am I supposed to do with Gateway and DNS? Also during first boot there were error messages containing to page cache, I dont know if thats a problem but I am sure having hell with this small mistake Sophos made...

    My theory is that you are both suffering from some kind of incompatible hardware with the Sophos. Can you list the NIC specifications here and that may help determine if it is the drivers for the NIC? I am using a atom d2500cc with intel 82574L onboard NICs. I also added a broadcom 10/100 fast ethernet PCI expansion NIC to the build. I don't remember the NIC specifics but it is using the broadcom netxtreme II CNIC Driver and is working fine.

    My opinion is that getting ESXi or Hyper-v working is not too difficult. I does make the networking concepts more difficult because you will be dealing with virtual networks and interfaces as well as the physical ones. I think it is a great way to continue learning but if this is an essential router in your home I would try something else.

    I have a GA-C847N-D which has realtek NICs built into the motherboard. I was able to install and bring up the SFOS on this motherboard.

    Have you tried adding the 172.16.16.16 subnet to your pc? I had to add another ip, try adding 172.16.16.10 to your adapter.
