Disconnecting the Bridge

51

Table 15 Troubleshooting (continued)

You are running Windows NT. After you connect the Bridge, your computer cannot obtain a valid IP address.

Access to the Bridge through Ethernet is blocked because of incorrect settings in the Access Control List.

The Bridge configuration settings may not be compatible with the network. If they are not, and your Windows NT computer is set up to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, the Bridge is unable to associate with the network to obtain the IP address.

To work around this, set a static IP address on your computer. Then set the Bridge configuration to match the network. When the Bridge is able to associate, reset your computer to obtain its IP address from the DHCP server. If the Bridge should also obtain its IP settings from the DHCP server, make sure this is configured properly on the IP Network page and applied just before ending the session.

Restore the Bridge to factory default settings (see “Restoring the Bridge to Factory Defaults” on page 43). The factory default setting for the Access Control List is disabled. After the factory default settings are restored, the Bridge can be accessed through Ethernet again.
