Wow… This is a problem that you kind of, after looking at it, cannot point fault at, but realize it just takes a little common sense to fix it… let me explain… When you create a new Sonicwall setup, Sonicwall by default sets the HTTPS certificate name to 192.168.168.168…. If you go into your […]
Old saying… That person needs a high five… in the face… with a chair! There are days AT&T does a great job… of making me want to ripe out my hair… AT&T has a <word of person who does not know his/her father> of a modem on their hands, it’s the Pace PLC […]
