When you had access the first time were any parameters changed? You might try disabling any browser addons, clear cache, cookies, etc. Then try again. 
I have a Dell Power Connect 2724 running in our network. Since it has been installed it has not been managed but I would now like to add the ability to manage and configure it remotely...in particular so that I can enable a GigE bundle to our NAS When I look at the switch I see the MANAGED light is lit but in that case how would I connect to it to manage it ? I see references to a default address of 192.168.2.1 but that IP does not exist in our home network All of the addresses on our home network are from the DHCP pool given out by our Virgin Media Router and are in the 192.168.0/24 range so what do I do to access the management port of the DELL please ?
