PowerConnect 2708 Web Interface Strangness

Question

I have a 'starnge' pronlem with my 2708 (FW 1.0.1.05). I can connect to the Web Interface I i have set the IP to be in my sub-net. I can then log in and do most things, but I **cannot** consistently access the 'Interface Configuration' menu item. Sometimes it works, and most of the the time it just kicks me back to the login window. All the other menu items work as expected. I have tried this from three different web browsers on 3 differnt OSes and nothing changes this behaviour. Any thoughts ???

I am experiencing the same symptoms on a 2724 model. I have partially configured the switch, and now when I access several of the pages that I need to complete the configuration (VLAN Membership and RMON Statistics), I am returned to the login page. This is preventing my completing the configuration of these switches, and is quickly making me lose confidence, my patience, and my temper.   As FYI, the switches all report firmware v1.0.1.07. Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone sloved it ?

I too am experiencing this issue.  I have tried it in IE6/IE7/Firefox (win32)/Iceweasel(Linux)/ and Epiphany.  Some browsers let me get a LITTLE further, but I still get intermittent usage of the web-based interface.

Yes, I am experiencing this problem on the brand-new 2708. Looks like a firmware problem that has been around for a while (see http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pc_managed&message.id=9186&query.id=49515#M9186
)
.

This needs to be fixed by Dell.
