Lost connection when attempting to setup asdm

[dtransangis]

Hi everyone, 
I was vpn in and log onto my local desktop. I putty into my ASA and was in the process of configuring my ASA for asdm. 

I had just input...

nameif inside <enter>

ip add <default gateway 255.255.255.0> <enter> 

and I sudden lost connection to the desktop and now can't remote or ping my desktop and other servers on the network (use to able to). 

I can still vpn in though..so not sure what the heck is going on. Did i set up "ip add..." wrong? Big Help please.

We do not have enough information to be sure about what the heck is going on but it sure does sound like you changed the IP address on the inside interface and that now devices on the inside (including your desktop) are attempting to communicate with the ASA using an address that is no longer the address of the ASA.

One thing about this situation that puzzles me is that if you were configuring the ASA for ASDM how does that lead you to configure an IP address on the inside interface? To enable ASDM you need to be sure that the correct version of ASDM code is loaded in flash, you need the configuration to point to that ASDM file, and you need to specify what source addresses can use ASDM.

I did look at your thread. Unfortunately the Voice topics are not in my area of expertise so I do not have any useful suggestions for you.

Yeh Richard, I guess I was on the wrong track. That's what I get for trusting youtube vids too much. All is right though. Did a 'reload' and returned things back the way they were.

I am glad that you were able to recover from the problem by reloading the ASA.

So is ASDM working or not working for your ASA?

Yes, asdm finally does work for me.
