When using the link local addresses, you have to specify the interface.
How? [snip] So? How do I type that into firefox or chrome? What's the syntax for specifying the interface? :-?
This may be it, because it produces a blank page, not an error. The same as if I go to http://192.168.1.6/, which if I remember correctly, is the IP of my switch, which can be controlled only from Windows with its own software. In Linux, blank page. I tried to access it from a virtualized XP, but the silly configuration page says there is no switch in the LAN, and does not allow me to enter the IP manually. VM is running in NAT mode. Changing to bridged mode... yes, now it sees the switch. But it does not allow me to enter its configuration, it still says we are on different networks. Ok, force XP to an IP on my LAN... now I have access to the switch! But what was its password!? Ah, ok, found it. But I don't see anything of interest there for the current problem - see Florian post and my response) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
