Can't access PDM

[kdoanconsult1]

What would be the reasons for not be able to conntect to the PDM software on a Pix 501? I have a laptop directly plugged into one of the ports and using the following command using IE7 browser:

https://10.0.0.1

This is the "gateway" address that I receive in the ipconfig info.

I also have tried this:

https://10.0.0.1/startup.html

Thanks.

If you are connecting to the ethernet port in pix directly from laptop you need a crossover cable, make sure you connect to ethernet1 port which is your inside interface.

also if you can console to the PIX and see its configuration make sure pix is configured for http and telnet, if not done so here is a short script:

http server enable

http 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside

telnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
