You start a browser on the
computer connected to the search
appliance. You cannot connect to
the Network and System Settings
wizard at http://192.168.255.1:1111/
1.
If the browser is using a proxy, disable the proxy and any
personal firewall software running on the computer. Wait
two minutes and then try to connect to the Network and
System Settings wizard.
2.
Symantec antivirus software is sometimes configured to
block port 1111. If you have Symantec AntiVirus,
Symantec Firewall, or both programs installed on your
computer, check whether port 1111 is blocked.
3.
If you are using Internet Explorer and the browser is
timing out waiting for the Network and System Settings
Wizard, try a different browser.
4.
If ICMP is enabled on your network, try using the ping
command to contact the search appliance. From the
command line, type:
ping 192.168.255.1
5.
If ICMP is enabled on your network, try using the ping
command to contact localhost. If the ping succeeds, you
have a TCP/IP connection and ping is working.
ping 127.0.0.1
6.
If you cannot ping the search appliance, contact your
network administrator.
