Cisco Express 500 problems

I've being trying to get a Cisco Express 500 switch configured and working for a few days now and I'm confused as to why I can access the switch after I've configured it. I follow the directions and enter setup. That works well enough and I'm able to configure the switch with an IP address. After I save the config'd (I'm using IE though I get the same results with Firefox, both with Javascript turned on) and rebooted I can not access the switch via http://192.168.1.10/ (it's IP address). My machine is hard coded to 192.168.1.11 both with a mask of

255.255.255.0. I'm wondering if this is a VLAN issue. My devices on the switch are all in VLAN 1 (the switch default) but none of my devices are using 802.1q. I see the normal layer 2 traffic from the switch even packets saying that the switch port is in VLAN 1. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

The laptop I used to configure the switch was set to GMT (dual boot), The router seemed to get the correct time (we're really EST). I just read the advisory, weird!

I'll try to upgrade it later today, I hope that helps. This is a very annoying switch. The other one I have mostly works. I had to add .1q to my other 2900XL switch to get those 2 to talk but my 7200 didn't have any trouble NATing port 80 for me to manage the CE500.

Maybe I'll trade it in on a 7600. ;-)

Thanks

I've upgraded to seg2 and it fixes a lot of the problems but the IP address and time where messed up. I could select 192.168.2.221 for the switch address but I could select 10.168.2.221 (both with a mask of

255.255.255.0). I'd say the IOS need a good bug scrub. Also I can't fix the time. It fall back to 1993. I'll try again later.

I just upgraded one of these to seg2, and now I cannot get into the Device Manager. It will not connect on port 80 or port 443, but I can still read SNMP data. The switch still seems to be functioning properly otherwise. Any ideas?
