      With the hardware, GUI and console up, my first requirement is to change the LAN IP. I'd thought this to be just a simple address change from the default 192.168.x.x to 172.28.x.x – but that didn't work.

      Setup:

      • SG-2440, assume factory defaults with working WebGUI and working console
      • PC browse URL: 192.168.1.1  does bring up the WebGUI

      LAN test config:

      • Change LAN IP via WebGUI
      • LAN IP: 172.28.1.1 /24
      • Mask: 255.255.255.0
      • Save settings but Hold off 'Apply Changes'
      • Enable DHCP, Range: 172.28.1.10 -to- 172.28.1.20
      • Save settings, then go back and Apply Changes

      Win10 PC:

      • With PC still wired LAN connected to SG-2440 LAN port
      • IPv4: 172.28.1.50 (Static IP address)
      • Mask: 255.255.255.0
      • DNS: 172.28.1.1
      • Browser URL: 172.28.1.1
        Fails to connect to WebGUI
        Reboot SG-2440 does not help.

      Win10 PC:

      • So, set IPv4 / DNS to DHCP
      • Browse URL: 172.28.1.1
        Still fails to connect to WebGUI
      • Browse URL: 172.28.1.1/:80 (Fails)

      Console:
      #ping 172.28.1.1 (Works)
      #ping 172.28.1.50 (Fails)
      #ping 172.28.1.15 (Fails)
      #sockstat | grep lighttpd
      Shows no listing -- so no reference to port :80

      So, I assume I must be missing, overlooking or misunderstanding something basic.
      Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

          Yes, the default 192.168.1.1 LAN config w/DHCP does work. The LAN connect fails with the new 172.28.1.1 IP, with or without the DHCP server and the PC using either DHCP or static IP addressing.

          I keep expecting to find some other setting to re-config with the IP change but, then again, I don't think I should need to set anything other than LAN IP, DHCP, Mask and DHCP IP Range.

            Double-check everything (netmasks(!)).

            I've done the same thing robably 500 times. it works exactly as you would expect.

              Funny you should write that …

              • Again, just did a box reset to default, then dropped the DHCP to use Static on the 192.168.x.x default
              • Verified PC static at .1.16 via the ARP table ... that worked ...
              • Then switched over to 172.28.1.1 LAN ... and static 172.28.1.16 PC
              • It worked ... and ARP table agrees.

              Must have been my 501st try ;-)
              Thanks for the use of your magic wand.
