Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual

I used DHCP to configure my network. Do I need to restart my computer to refresh my IP address?

No. Follow these steps to refresh your IP address:

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me - Select Start, Run, type “winipcfg,” and press Enter. Ensure the Ethernet adapter is selected in the device box. Press the Release_all button, then press the Renew_all button.

Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 - Select Start, Run, type “cmd,” and press Enter. At the DOS prompt, type “ipconfig /release,” then type “ipconfig /renew.”

Windows XP - Unplug the Ethernet cable or wireless card and plug it back in.

Can I run an application located on another computer over the network?

Yes, if the application is designed to run over a network.

Can I play games between computers on my network, or on the Internet?

Yes, if the games were designed for multi-player or LAN play. For specific infor- mation about whether a game is capable of Internet or LAN play, refer to the game documentation. Some games require ports to be forwarded to host or join games over the Internet.

I have an FTP or Web server on my network. How can I make it available to users on the Internet?

For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 8088 to the IP address of the server and set up the Web server to receive on that port, as well. (Configuring the server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

For an FTP server, enable port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of the server. (Configuring the server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

Connections

How many computers can be connected through the Gateway?

The Gateway is capable of 254 connections, but it is recommended to have no more than 45 connections. As you increase the number of connections, you decrease the available speed for each computer.
