CHAPTER 3

3.2.3 Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol and configuring an IP address in the same network with the Gateway, you can use the Ping command to check if your computer is successfully connected to the Gateway. The fol- lowing example shows how the Ping procedure can be exe- cuted in an MS-DOS window. First, execute the Ping com- mand: ping 192.168.2.1

If there appear the following messages: "Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64", a communication link between your computer and the Gateway has been successfully established.

Otherwise, if you get the following messages: "Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out",

there may be something wrong in your installation proce- dure. You need to check the following items in sequence:

1.Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Gateway and your computer? The LAN LED on the Gateway and the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on.
