Hello, all. I’m a young one with experience in the computer science field and looking to expand into the network infrastructure field as well. I’m a newbie to Cisco and the networking community.
Anyway, I received two Cisco catalyst 2960-s series with Poe+ switches with 48 ports each from a friend two weeks ago. I wanted to experience with them, so hooked up an old hp media center pc to them and retrieved drivers for them and then installed Cisco network assistant 6.3.4 on my pc. I followed all instructions and I waited for it to find the devices. However, all I got was a pop-up that said “Failed to get default gateway. Check your security settings to make sure the current java virtual machine is not prevented from running commands.” I tried multiple times with the same result. I went into internet options tab in control panel and messed around with it, but it remains the same. What can I do to fix this issue and how do I prevent it. I would prefer an expert in this field to answer, as they would know how to fix it yet answer in a way that I could understand. The pc that I’m running is an HP Media Center PC m1070n with windows xp service pack 3 installed if that helps. I also have a 2012 MacBook Pro that I yet have to install the Cisco software.
Thanks,
Doug Stevenson
