Just to close out this thread - Thanks to those who provided suggestions. The answer was.....
Admin--Settings--System IP Address (WebUI) set admin sys-ip (CLI) That little entry isn't even mentioned in the context-sensitive online help and the information in the WebUI reference simply says to enter an address and hit Apply (helpful!). However, if this entry is set to anything other than 0.0.0.0 (I had entered the internal IP address) then management through the untrusted interface will not work. Once Remote administration was working, the custom service entries operated as expected (problem was a little too much stress on the first problem). Regarding biases - we all have them - as long as the specific information provided is truthful and reliable, I don't see a problem. Personally I love the pixen I have installed, it's simply that this was a $750 need - not $1,500 regards Ken -----Original Message----- From: Brian Ford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 12:52 PM To: FW-List Subject: RE: NetScreen 5xp configuration Ken, >However, I would love access to further information on Netscreen >configurations.

Thanks, but this really nothing new to the list. I hope you understand that Mr. Clark is a NetScreen reseller. So just as I would wave the flag for Cisco products; he's got a financial interest in your choice to go with NetScreen. Whne folks come to the list and ask for a recommendation I get flamed if I respond "go Cisco". Steve Clark suggests NetScreen and no one really asks why. Carpe diem.
