Alert: Disable pop-up blocking software or add the management IP address of your

SonicWALL (192.168.168.168 by default) to your pop-up blocker's allow list

before accessing the SonicWALL management interface.

• Are the Local Area Connection settings on your computer set to obtain an IP

address dynamically (DHCP) or set to a static IP of 192.168.168.20? See

“Configuring Computers for Your Network with DHCP” on page 20 for instructions

on changing your Local Area Connection settings.

• Do you have the Ethernet cable connected to your computer and to one of the

LAN ports (1through 5) on your SonicWALL TZ 170?
