That's all right, but there should be no need for a factory reset.<br />
Please let us know if you got it working.<br />
Cheers!<br />

I'd reset a PIX 515E to the factory default setting. I just did the basic configuration and set the IP address on the internal interface only. I've also enable the http server and added the IP address of the pc for http administration. I'm able to ping to the internal interface from the LAN. However, I'm unable to either telnet to the router or access it from the web browser. Can anyone please help.<br />
<br />
I'm using Windows Vista Ent with SP1<br />
<br />
Version of IOS is <br />
<br />
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)<br />
Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(1)<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
