Chapter 2 Installation
Configuring the Router
Tip If the CRWS home page does not appear when you enter the URL http://10.10.10.1, test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:
1.Check that the OK LED on the router is on, and check the cable connection between the router and the PC. Be sure that the TO HUB/TO PC button is in the correct position. The button is in the correct position if the LED for the port on the front of the router is on.
2.If the CRWS home page still does not appear, verify that the web browser’s “work offline” option is disabled.
3.If the web page still does not appear, verify that your PC is automatically configured to receive an IP address. Follow the instructions in the Cisco Router Web Setup Troubleshooting Guide, which is available on the Cisco 800 and SOHO Series Product Documentation CD.
4.If the PC is configured to automatically receive an IP address, but the web page still does not appear, select Start/Run, type winipcfg in the Run window, and examine the address in the IP address field. The address should be in the format 10.10.10.X, in which X is a number that is equal or greater than 2; for example, 10.10.10.2, or 10.10.10.3. If the IP address is not in this format, verify that an Ethernet adapter name is visible in the Adapter field. If there is no name in the field, return to Step 3 in “Checking the PC Configuration," add TCP to the list of protocols. Then return to “Using Cisco Router Web Setup to Configure the Router, page
Step 4 If you have no special configuration requirements, click the Router Setup link on the home page, and then click Easy Setup. (This may appear as Quick Setup on some models.) Then, enter the user name and password provided to you by your Internet service provider, and click Apply.
Step 5 If you need to configure special features such as Network Address Translation (NAT), click the appropriate links on the home page, and complete the configuration screens.
Step 6 Click the Password link on the home page, and set a password for the router.
Step 7 Click the Test Connection link on the home page, and allow the connection to be tested.
Step 8 Select Start/Run, and type winipcfg in the Open field of the Run window. When the IP Config window appears, click Release to release the PC’s IP address. Then click Renew to renew the PC’s IP address.
Alternatively, open the Run window and enter ipconfig /release to release the PC’s IP address.Then enter ipconfig /renew to renew the IP address of the PC.
Step 9 Open a web browser on the PC, and connect to a website.
The router installation is complete when you have connected to a website.
