Re: [cobalt-users] locked myself out - one computer only-help?

[James Dory <engineer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, I got a lot of help on this one. I really really appreciate it and 
hope I can somehow repay the help.. or at least the karma, some way.

Problem was a !DOH! . I have recently installed a 3550 cisco switch with 
routing. I enabled rip on it and set up routing for a subnet that comes 
in from an outlying department. I set up one port as a gateway for that 
and all the other departments I'm bringing in via wireless. As it was 
set, everything was working fine for a couple weeks. So I'm not sure 
what changed to block me out, but maybe as I was moving patch cables 
around on the other switches we have. Funny thing was though that the 
first time I was blocked, I was able to re-establish via the reboot of 
my computer. And then it worked fine for a day.. before blocking me 
again after I had changed my ip address a few times.

Anyway, solution was to add a static route on the switch to point to the 
public subnet.

Sorry for taking your time, but grateful.

Cheers, Jim
