Can't access default IP address; 172.16.16.16!

ChristopherGault

Hello, I am very frustrated with this bull crap about this 172.16.16.16. address! I have searched all over the web pertaining to this issue and no solutions have worked for me. I always get the error "Connection timed out". The hardware is a Dell Poweredge R310 with 8GB RAM, 4-Core Xeon processor and 200GB Storage. There ware two network ports and have tried hardlining into both of them while my PC IP was set to static 17.16.16.2. I have tried almost everything possible... please help me!

P.S. I am using the Home Edition

    That is correct and also stupid. You should be able to accept the EULA from the console.

    Have you tried doing ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew to see if your machine picks up a new IP rather than hard setting it, or if you do hard set it try 172.16.16.17 or higher than the .16 that is the default.

    Our machine eventually found it's IP on the Sophos device and it was higher in the range but we did have to wait about 4 hours. Perhaps it would''ve happened sooner but I gave up trying to force it.
