Hey everybody, I have a new to me Dell PowerConnect 2716 that I can't seem to get into the managed web gui.
I am using a straight-through cat5 cable connected to the desktop and the switch.
I select the managed mode (light is green) and I set a static IP address to 192.168.2.10. The switch IP / Default Gateway is 192.168.2.1.
When I try to connect, I get:
PING: Transmit Failed. General Failure.
I hope this switch isn't dead as I would like to get it up and usable in my little home network.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you!
