Ok, so the first thing I did to the new unit when received from eBay was to do an init/restore/betacleanup on it. ?It had a fairly newish FW that required AUTH. ?I immediately loaded a 1.5x FW and disabled AUTH and SSL. ?So far so good. ?I then loaded the 1.8x FW to match the old unit and right off the bat it was asking me to create an account and ?AUTH and SSL were set to on. ?I spent the next several hours trying different versions and had no luck. ?Are you saying to load a pre AUTH FW, turn everything off and then do an Init/restore on that old version before updating to current? ?Does anyone have any insight on this process? ?It takes FOREVER to randomly load and test different topologies hoping it will work. ?I appreciate the help.
