Title: Newbie has problem connecting to LAN After New Install
Post by: neutronspin on January 18, 2018, 01:43:00 am

Hello,

I installed the software and assigned LAN and WAN to Em0 and EM1 respectively.  The LAN address assigned is 192.168.1.1/24. I connected an Ethernet port from my network switch to the port EM0 on the PC then I tried to access the web app GUI using this in my browser:  http://192.168.1.1/24 but the browser timed out.  I have not disconnected the WAN port from my cable modem as I didn't want to break my internet while testing the LAN access for my new box.  I can't figure out what is wrong.  I would really appreciate any ideas to get me up and running on my new router build.   Thank you.

OK.... I think i forgot to enter the  the interface IP address from the menu #2. >:(  What IP address should i use for my LAN?   Is there a preference?  I can do a scan of my network to find a free one.  Any info appreciated....thanks...

If you managed to get the other stuff right, delete the leading /24 from the link and try this:

http://192.168.1.1
