Hi,

Had trouble with one these lately.
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pwcnt_2708_th?c=th&l=en&s=lca

I this is a switch not a router correct than runs at gigabit speeds, right.

I tried to get into it via it's instruction manual by the old browser way. 192.168.0.2 I think is what it was. I know it was the right address as it was the one on the site, in the manual and in the quick install pamphlet.

Ok so that didn't work so I tried various ones from linksys, dlink, etc... nothing.

It also had a managed and unmanaged button, which you had to press with a pin. I believe that had to on so you acccess the box, but that did not work either.

Would this switch have supported NAT, and had any thing like SPI? Cause I sent it back as it was far too expensive for what was needed.
A coughed up for a linksys router befsx41 that was only 10/100 but suffice.

The whole reason was to make a two box lan from tcp/ip and wan connection.

The box has eight ports starting at one which I plugged the wan line into. And box got port 2 and box two got box three. Which was great for internet connection. Would not work for lan as the addresses where not a private ip address.

I even just tried using the windows lan maker or whatever it is called. Nothing.

What was wrong aside from the obvious dell switch not allowing configuration.
