Netwacky87 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hi All! Recently purchased a UTM-1000, was workin great when i first booted it...but then it was put away until the summer where it will come into commision! Re-arranged our racking today, and put the smoothwall in place, booted it up and all i get on the LCD is "Network Appliance"...and cannot do anything else and is unaccesable...:S Any Ideas? Mart
john Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'd give Smoothwall Support at tinkle as it sounds like its not wanting to boot to me, but give them a buzz and they will excell at helping as ever
rob_f Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Hey - you could try a serial cable on the console to see what it's up to, details in the manual but should be 9600-8-N-1, or failing that please give support a call. If the box has been off for a while it may be doing a filesystem consistency check. Although I would have expected it to have finished by now Thanks! Rob.
Netwacky87 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Hi All! Just spoke to smoothwall support! = FANTASTIC! Plugging in a serial console worked a treat and speaking to support, it was trying to run a file system check and it found some errors which needed the root password! Fantastic support as ever! Mart
rob_f Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Good stuff Well, not the errors, but the response! Also good to see that was support! = fantastic and not support != fantastic (weak friday afternoon excuse for a joke for all those codemonkeys out there...) Rob.
