2.Select Programs.

3.Select MS-DOSprompt.

4.In the DOS window, execute the following command:

route add <Destination address> <Gateway address>

For example: route add 10.0.0.140 172.16.0.0.1

To verify the IP connection, you can ping the modem. If the modem responds, you can set up tunnels.

Ping-of-Life Procedure

If the local IP connection cannot be established because of a configuration error or because the configured IP address of the modem is forgotten, you can use the Ping-of-Life procedure to restore the connection. A special ping packet delivers a new IP address to the modem.

To restore the local connection to the modem, you must do the following:

Preconfigure the new IP address in the ARP cache of one of your systems.

Reset the modem and allow the selftest to end (takes about 30 seconds).

Ping the new IP address within 60 seconds after the end of the selftest.

Note:

Most TCP / IP packages support the ARP and PING command.

The procedure for Windows 95 is described below. There might be small differences in other operating systems.

1.Select Start from the Windows 95 taskbar.

2.Select Programs.

3.Select MS-DOS prompt.

4.In the DOS window, enter the following command: arp -a -N <interface IP address>

Note:

The <interface IP address> is the IP address of the interface to which the modem is connected.
