How to connect to an ASA 5505

[MyersEngineering.com]

I have attached my new ASA 5505 to my computer with the network cable as described in section 5. I have verified that Firefox 3 has both Java and Javascript enabled. When I enter https://192.168.1.1 it times out with no connection.

I haved attempted to access it by connecting it to our LAN, then browsing it from various computers, both Linux and Windows. It always times out.

I have pressed and held the Reset button and tried again. No change.

The front and rear lights appear to indicate a proper connection, complete with activity.

Can you give me a hint as to what I have done wrong or should do differently or in addition ?

Now that makes all kind of sense.

Yes, its on 192.168.10. I'll put it on 192.168.1 and re-try the direct connection.

On its subnet I connected :)

And it challenged me for a user name and password. Might you have an idea what might be the default username and password ?

The book says to leave both blank and press enter. I did and I'm in.

Thank you very much. I certainly would not have gotten that on my own.

Now all I need is for you to post one more time so I can click on SOLVED :)
