opnsense not loading
Hi, I tried setting up my own router and got a few Ubiquiti access points. I bought a Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF with an Intel Core i5-6500, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It also comes with an Intel G63712-002 Dual-Port I340-T2 Ethernet Adapter Card. I've tried installing OPNsense in two ways, both facing the same problem: 1. Using a flash drive to install OPNsense on the SSD. 2. Swapping the SSD, installing OPNsense, and then putting it back in. OPNsense starts and boots, but when I try to open the GUI from another device, it doesn't appear. Both devices are connected via Ethernet to the same network. I've tried using different IP addresses (including 192.168.1.1/24) but the page still doesn't load and times out. I've also tested connecting the Ethernet port to other ports without success. This has been going on for days and is really frustrating. What's going wrong? Thanks in advance.
I connected the monitor and shared a photo of the output. It appears to show the LAN port access, but nothing appears when accessing it on another device.
Is the LAN cable connected to the motherboard's NIC or the PCIe NIC?
The display shows you haven't set it up yet. It's been a while since I connected a monitor to my OPNsense device, and I'm sure that warning won't appear after installation. I checked the OPNsense guide when I first installed it.
I started from the USB again and watched the video to reinstall it. Now I’m seeing this screen again, but it’s not showing anything. Does this look like the installer?
Your flash drive remains connected and starts from it each time.
