Self Help Guide
Providing you have a working connection to your Router information similar to that shown below will be displayed;
B e l k I n
1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 2 . 2
2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 0 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 2 . 1
By default all Computer Network Interface Cards (NICs) are set to ‘Obtain an IP Address Automatically’ if the Network Card has done this then it will obtain one from the Router which is acting as a DHCP Server. The Information shown in the Screenshot above shows that this is happening correctly;
1.The DNS Suffix shows ‘Belkin’ – This is the ‘Hostname’ of the Belkin Router
2.The Default Gateway shows the Router’s IP Address (192.168.2.1) as used above.
3.The PC has successfully obtained a 192.168.2.x
If you receive that same type of information as shown above then please try connecting to the User Interface of the Router via your Internet Browser again, as a Network Connection does seem to be present.
If you receive Information that is missing a ‘DNS Suffix’ and/or ‘Default Gateway’ or shows any other message including ‘Media Disconnected’ then please double check the Physical connections and if required continue with the troubleshooting as follows.
