Troubleshooting

The information outlined in this section describes some useful steps for getting your computer and the Wireless Base Station online.

A.Verify your connection to the Wireless Base Station If you are unable to access the Wireless Base Station’s web-based administration pages then you may not be properly connected or configured.The screen shots in this section were taken on a Windows 2000 machine, but the same steps will apply to Windows 95/98/Me/XP.

To determine your TCP/IP configuration status please follow the steps below:

1.Click Start then choose Run.

2.Type cmd or command to open a DOS prompt.

3.In the DOS window, type ipconfig and verify the information that is displayed.

4.If your computer is setup for DHCP, then your TCP/IP configuration should be similar to the information displayed:

•IP Address: 192.168.2.X (x is number between 100 and 199)

•Subnet: 255.255.255.0

•Gateway: 192.168.2.1

If you have any other IP address information listed see below.

If you have an IP address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX then see the next section.

If you have another IP address configured, then see section C.

B.I am getting an IP Address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX

If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that you are properly connected to the Wireless Base Station.

Confirm that you have a good link light on the Wireless Base Station for the corresponding port. If not, please try another cable.

If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as described in the previous section and type ipconfig/renew.
