Unable to reset Dlink DFL 700 network firewall

You have both equipments with the same ip address. Connect the PC to the firewall, login and change the IP first.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) endpoint and pass-through support. Additional firewall features include custom and policy-based filtering options. These options have to be configured properly.
Check your configuration level and access policy.
If its a public server you have to place it in DMZ.
Check IP settings of the server. U may require a VPN tunnel

Good Luck

reset the router to default settings by pressing on the reset button for ten seconds. (usually located at the back of the unit)

Do you have an email server in place? If so, you need to setup port 25 for inbound access to the IP address of the email server. I would suggest that you don't allow all as that will open up everything and kind of negates the reason to have a firewall. Some ISPs block port 25 though and use port 587.

If you don't have an email server then the problem might be with your email client configuration.

With the unit on, locate the small reset switch on the back of the router. Insert the end of a paperclip into the reset switch and hold for 10 seconds. The router will restart itself and the WLAN light will stop blinking.  The router is now reset to factory defaults. 

Remember The factory defaults username is admin, and there is no password.

this will not be a problem of your firewall. it will almost certainly be a password problem. ftp uses ports 20 & 21 but if you have disabled the firewall this cannot be the cause.

Possible problems:
1. IDE Flash device is damaged
2. IDE controller is damaged
2. Firmware is corrupt

Try and download the firmware, and install. You should then get a better idea if the IDE device or controller is bad if it won't install or see the device.

Don't forget to rate the solution

Sounds like the firmware is looping for some reason. Try this to reset defaults:
Step 1: Make sure the unit is powered off.

Step 2: Press and hold the reset button located on the back of the firewall. While continuing to hold the reset button, power on the firewall.

Step 3: Continue to hold the reset button for 30 seconds after the unit is powered on.

Step 4: Release the reset button and the firewall will be at factory default settings.

have you used the factory default switch?
