netacademy It essentials packet tracer 6.1.5.3

[kimgick]

Need some advice trying to do the 6.1.5.3 packet tracer exercise in It essentials.

from step 1:
Configure home gateway to use a motion sensor

i have tried a bunch of combinations and permutations of admin/admin as the username and password for the "home gateway login" (192.168.25.1) and always get "Wrong username or password".

Help please and thank you!

Here is the pka file I just downloaded from netacad. It does not allow for admin/admin to be the user/password in order to log in.

@urreichenbachii,

From the Desktop, use "IOT Monitor" instead of "Web Browser".

thanks!  that worked.  
In addition, it seems the machines that dont want to work are software version 8.xx 
I downloaded and installed version 7.xx and that version appears to work.
in the 8.xx version, you are also bombarded with warning/error boxes when you first logon.

gonna double check the versioning theory, will report back

I also found that there was an IP Address conflict with the Motion Detector. I changed the Motion Detector to use 192.168.25.28 and it cleared up the issues I was having.
