    Hi,

    What IP address does your PC get when connected tot he XG?

    What you have posted would indicate you are connected to the wrong interface eg you need to change to another port on your XG. The 172.16.16.16 in the internal address, not the eternal address.

    When you first install XG it will look for a 2 active ports, one internal 172.16.16.16 with DHCP enabled if you ticked the box and one external looking for a DHCP response to provide it with an address. This is the port your XG will contact the registration server on.

    To connect to the XG GUI you need to be connected to the internal interface using a 17.16.16.x address.

    Hi,

    you need a standalone PC, with a a minimum of two NICs, a not very powerful CPU, but preferable with 4 real cores and 4 to 6gb of ram and about 60gb of disk (which will be totally wiped). A CD reader preferable removable because any updates will be downloaded over the web.

    You boot using the CD and the software (via the console) will ask some questions then start the install process which can take about 5 minutes and not always show progress. At completion remove the CD (boot/install disk) restart the device and connect your PC to the internal port, in practice you connect your PC before starting so the install software can see an active interface.

    You log into the internal interface using https://172.16.16.16:4444/ and follow the prompts. Accept the basic install process as that will get you an internet connection.

    Somewhere in these forums there is a detailed posting about installing XG with from shred. At the bottom of the first post in the link below is the location of shred's help document.
