6Appendix C: How to Ping your ISP’s E-mail and Web addresses

Virtually all Internet addresses are configured with words or characters (e.g., www.corinex.com, www.yahoo.com, etc.). In actuality, however, these Internet addresses are assigned to IP addresses, which are the true addresses on the Internet. For example, www.corinex.com is actually 81.0.193.56 at the time of producing this User Guide. Type it into your web browser and you will end up at the Corinex home page every time.

There are servers that translate the URL to an IP address; these are called Domain Name System (DNS) Servers. IP and web addresses, however, can sometimes be long and hard to remember. Because of this, certain ISPs will shorten their server addresses to single words or codes on their users’ web browser or e-mail configurations. If your ISP’s email and web server addresses are configured with single words (www, e-mail, home, pop3, etc.) rather than whole Internet addresses or IP addresses, the Router may have problems sending or receiving mail and accessing the Internet. This

happens because the Router has not been configured by your ISP to accept 99 their abbreviated server addresses.

The solution is to determine the true web addresses behind your ISPs code words. You can determine the IP and web addresses of your ISP’s servers by "pinging" them.

Important: If you don’t have your ISP’s web and e-mail IP addresses, you must either get them from your ISP or follow these steps prior to connecting your Corinex Powerline Router to your network.
