    Lec,
    are you able to ping 172.16.16.16? Are you able to access https://172.16.16.16:4444/? What happen when you finish the basic setup?

    Give us more info.

    thanks
    the firewall is pingable of course, and I can access the admin web console,
    it is registered as I see the serial number. When I try to synchronize, it is successfull, but I get back to the welcome screen (basic setup/register/synchronise)

    Did you change the browser?
    It is strange! After the sync you should proceed with basic installation (bridge or routing) and get the webadmin interface.

    Try to clear the web browser cache.

    Hi,

    I tried from two clients behind the firewall : Windows 7 / Explorer 10, Windows 10 / Explorer 11 on a VM.
    Same result
    Each time I'm able to successfully manually synchronize the licence, then go back to the basic / non registered console.

    Tried to clear the cache too

    Lec,

    try to access the XG CLI using ssh and adjust your network configuration using the option. You should be able to change ip, settings and so on.
    Check if the console requests you the registration. If it required, register/sync the device from console and reboot.

    Let us know.

    hi,
    No trouble accessing the ssh console, or modifying the config, DNS for example.

    I'm not familiar with the text console interface, but I don't see any request for registration (saw it first time before registering),
    the firewall look like it is registered (I'm able to access the vpn menu or device console for exemple).

    1-Network config
    2- System config
    3- Route config
    4- Device console
    5- Device management
    6-VPN
    7 Shutdown
    0- Exit

    but from the webconsole, still stucked on the initial screen, whatever the client OS or browser

    FWIW, I'm stuck in the same loop. All the same except that I'm using Hyper-V on Win10.

    Just got my Home license in email and successfully registered it in the MySophos portal.

    I've been able to use the Basic Setup in the browser interface to configure the WAN & LAN interfaces and even changed the admin password, but I'm entirely unable to get out of the sync license merry-go-round (BTW, the admin console PW is now buggered - neither the old nor the new one works).

    I did notice that while mousing over "Click Here to start configuring your device" link in the "Welcome to your Sophos Device" page that the URL is built to return me to the same "ApplianceNotRegistered page: 10.10.1.2:4444/.../ApplianceNotRegistered.jsp

    I've played with the URL trying to sort out what the proper manglement page might be, but I really don't think I should have to do that.

    Hi lec668,

    i've got the same issue here - do you have any news /solutions regarding this issue?

    My device is also shown in my Sophos Account within the Devices, everything is looking just fine.

    The following things, i've tried so far:

    - Changed the IP-Address via SSH --> same behavior

    - Deleted the Browser Cache --> same behavior

    - Switch Browser from Safari to Firefox 45 --> same behavior

    - Reboot (graceful) the XG via SSH --> same behavior

    - Reboot (hard power reset) the XG --> same behavior

    Does anyone else face the same problem?

    Any advice will be appreciated - thanks!

    Best regards from Germany

    Oliver

    Hi,

    I never solved the problem, I had to move to a non virtual setup to test XG !

    Take Care

    I also run Sophos on a Windows 10 VM and it works fine. What I did was pre-register the device before installing XG and everything worked fine.
