Hi,
Everything working fine until a couple of days ago I noticed I wasn't getting emails from my AC3P. Tracked the problem down to the wireless game adapter that connects the AC3 to the router wirelessly. Fixed that (faulty connection) and started to get emails again. My problem now is that I can't bring up any web page from the AC3's internal webserver. Every so often I get the login prompt but then it times out. Most of the time I just get page not found. I can telnet to it and issue commands but I cannot get to 192.168.0.50 internally through a browser nor can I get to the AC3 externally through the dyndns address. I went to whatismyip and the IP has not changed. I can ping the comcast IP and a tracert to the URL of the AC3 shows that it routes back to my comcast IP. To me everything looks good. Is there a test to see if the webserver in the AC3 is working correctly?
Thanks,
Ken

Has the http port been changed on the AquaController? If it is not the default port 80 then it has to be specified in the URL. If the port was 456 then you'd use:

http://192.168.0.50:456

for the URL. Also see if you can access:

192.168.0.50/cgi-bin/status.cgi

If so, then I suspect that the webpages are missing/corrupt in the controller. Reload them with the ac3loader in the firmware update package.

I did change the port number some time ago and do include it in the URL string.

I tried:
http://external_address:PORT# and get page not found. However if I go to:
http://external_address:PORT#/cgi-bin/status.cgi it does bring up the status page. Just the status no border or menu items. So I guess that means reload.

Thanks for the help and have a Merry Christmas.
