2Disconnect all your computers and the cable/DSL modem from the Gateway.

3Using a straight through Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet Cable/DSL port on the rear of the Gateway to any one of the LAN ports.

4Re-apply power to the Gateway. The Alert LED will flash as the Gateway starts up, and after approximately 30 seconds will start to flash more slowly (typically 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off). Once the Alert LED has started to flash slowly, remove power from the Gateway.

5Remove the cable connecting the Cable/DSL port to the LAN port, and reconnect one of your computers to one of the Gateway LAN ports.

6Re-apply power to the Gateway, and when the start-up sequence has completed, browse to:

and run the configuration wizard. You may need to restart your computer before you attempt this.

7When the configuration wizard has completed, you may reconnect your network as it was before.

Wireless Networking

This section applies to the Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway only.

Ensure that you have a Wi-fi certified 802.11b wireless adapter for each wireless computer, and that it is correctly installed and configured. Verify that each Wireless computer has either Windows 95 or higher or MAC OS 8.5 or higher.

Verify that your wireless computers are configured to work in Infrastructure mode and not Ad Hoc mode. The Gateway contains an Access Point that is designed to operate in Infrastructure mode. Ad Hoc mode is not supported by the Gateway.

Check the status of the Gateway Wireless LED, it should be lit if wireless is enabled and will flash when there is wireless activity. If not lit go to “Wireless Settings” on page 46 and enable wireless networking.

Ensure that the TCP/IP settings for all devices are correct.
