Setup

If you can't connect

If the Broadband ADSL Router does not respond, check the following:

•The Broadband ADSL Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" com- mand:

•Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.

•Enter the command:

ping 192.168.0.1

If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's IP address is not compatible with the Broadband ADSL Router's IP Address. (See next item.)

•If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Broadband ADSL Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on check- ing your PC's TCP/IP settings.

•Ensure that your PC and the Broadband ADSL Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
