I have done new test, strictly more carefully.
- I absolutely disconnect cable and whatever wifi I had connected.
- I connect to Sandisk Wifi and I check with IPCONFIG that no other IP address neither networks are connected.
- I browse to www.sandisk.connect/myconnect and get the same fail page. It means, that page is really shown by stick.
And, ping and tracert commands failes with “general failure”.
But, the good news:
- I leave the browser proxy as usual in our company, it means, navigating through our proxy. Then, when I browse to 172.25.63.1/myconnect I get successfully the stick page of files. In addition, navigating to other webs (i.e google) is successfully done by browser. And ping and tracert commands worked well.
Anyway, my interpretation is that, as we have “Cisco Any Connect” product, it doesn’t allow me to navigate through external wifis (like sandisk stick) without being redirected trough company proxy…
I have tested killing “Any Connect” being administrator. However, in other PC being no Administrator, I got success as well, but I had to try several times and to unplug the cable. Some times the files page was shown and other times it was not found. Hum…I suspect that stick software is not completely stable…
BTW: if you set the url http://172.25.63.1/myconnect like an “external unit” in Windows Files Explorer then you get a view of all shelf and files and you can copy them. However, whatever file you intent to upload to stick you get the Windows’s answer “file too big for the target system of files”.
