We are a small non-profit that recently lost our IT consultant so I am without support right now. He had set up what I believe is called a domain server on Clear OX (6.x??) because we log in through it. I am struggling to understand what I have. Everything was working fine. I could log in through the web and add or modify users as needed. Last week we had a power blip and now I get ERR_Connection_Refused when I try to access through the web on any browser and any machine in the office. The network is working fine but I just can't make any changes and I have a new person starting I need to set up. I have restarted the server and just completed shutting down every machine in the office and restarting with no success.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Can you get hold of PuTTy and WinSCP to help with the server management. They are both free.

    From a command prompt on your PC can you type "ipconfig" and look for your Default Gateway.

    Assuming your Default Gateway is ClearOS which is acting as a firewall, from the console try typing:
    iptables -I INPUT -d your_default_gateway_IP -j ACCEPT
    Note the "-I" is an upper case "-i". Then try to access the server again. This is just in case an odd firewall rule on the server is blocking you. If this succeeds we'll need to do some more stuff to diagnose how to make a permanent fix.

    If ClearOS is not your gateway, use the FQDN you use to access the webconfig when you want to add/delete users instead of the gateway IP in the iptables rule.

    I forgot to add, to get a command prompt at the console, do alt+f2 and log in as root.
