Hello,
I recently installed Astaro Security Gateway Free Home Edition on an old Pentium 4 computer that I plan to use as a gateway. The box has a built in NIC interface and I purchased a second NIC card, so the box now has two NIC interfaces.
I installed Astaro with a bootable CD and everything seems to have completed successfully—both NICs were recognized during setup.
The administrative computer is connected with the Astaro computer by means of a crossover cable. The Astaro appears to boot correctly and displays the following information on-screen after booting up
192.168.2.100
login:
The problem is that I am unable to log into Astaro computer.
The administrative computer is running Vista Home Premium; I have disabled the McAfee firewall, but when I try to go to 192.168.2.100:4444 I repeatedly get the message that Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.2.100:4444
I tried to log into the Astaro computer using a Windows XP machine and had the same problem. I have verified that the crossover cable is working.
I am not sure where the problem lies and would be grateful for any suggestions.
