Re: [LUG] Smoothwall Web Access

["justin.powell1" <justin.powell1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick,

Just some thoughts, I'm not a networking guru and I know very little about
Smoothwall.

- Is the smoothwall box listenning on the configured admin port 80, 443, 81?
- Is this a remote access problem, can you access the admin port from the
console (lynx, telnet)
- Try the IP and port explicitly ie http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:pp to take your name
resolution out of the loop
- If can't gain access and want to reinstall, diable/reset the admin password
via the appropriate jumper
 on the motherboard
