New Ethernet Interface reports error on UTM

Using 9.705-7

Trying to move away from a DSL connection on Eth1 to an Ethernet connection.

Even when I shut down the DSL line, I cannot configure a straight ethernet connection on Eth1 - just throws up an error on Save

Interface type requires exclusive access to the network interface

I have looked and cannot find anything in the current search specific to this exact query.

Anyone any ideas?

Hi Nick,

Do you also have a VLAN Interface defined on eth1?

Shouldn't need to, have dual NICs so eth0 is Lan and eth1 should just be Ethernet or at least that is my understanding.

Please show a picture of the 'Interfaces' tab, Nick.

Hi Bob

Sorry about the delay - been away for a few days - screen shot below.

Now I know currently the External (WAN) is showinf UP and obviously on, however the same red error message is received, even if I toggle that 'off'. unplug the modem, and reboot my Sophos UTM so that the NIC card cannot possible detect anything present.

I'm even later, Nick! Visiting family and turning cranks. ;-)

Yes, you'll need to delete the "Draytek" interface definition.
