Any ideas as to how I can get out of this mess would be greatly appreciated. I'm certainly no expert, but I do have about 20 of these different TZ units out in the wild world, configured with different levels of complexity and working fine.

I know I went through the process as I have many times before.

I went on the Sonicwall site since I know I now need a #$%^& "maintenance key" after a factory reset. So, I thought I would just reset to factory defaults. I even tried unsuccessfully to SSH into it but I never enabled SSH before I configured it, so that was dumb. The TZ270 firewalls are rated for 1-25 users, 2.0 Gbps firewall throughput, and 750 Mbps VPN throughput. Also, I can't ping this obviously working gateway address. The SonicWall TZ270 firewall is one of the best SMB firewalls that offers superior performance with a simple management interface. Entering 10.1.10.1 into any browser results in "Site refused to connect". However, I can no longer get into the management interface. IPCONFIG shows the gateway to be 10.1.10.1 as it should be. I can get out to the Internet without any issues. As soon as I changed the setup PC from static 192.168.168.2, to DHCP I got a DHCP address from the Sonicwall of 10.1.10.233. The WAN interface got an IP ( 192.168.1.11) via DHCP from the Comcast gateway, that itself is set with a LAN address of 192.168.1.1. I went through the normal registration process and then set it up as simply as possible. All I know is it's version 7xx something. I know I should have updated the firmware first thing, but I didn't. I have a brand new TZ 270 right out of the box.
