and Web Addresses

Virtually all Internet addresses are configured with words or characters (e.g., www.corinex.com, www.yahoo.com, etc.) However, recently these Internet addresses are assigned to IP addresses, which are the true addresses on the Internet. For example, www.corinex.com is recently 81.0.193.56 at the time of producing this manual. If you type this address into your web browser, you will end up at the Corinex home page every time.

Some servers translate the URL to an IP address, so called DNS (Domain Name System) Servers. However, IP and web addresses can be long and hard to remem- ber sometimes. From this reason, certain ISPs will shorten their server addresses to single words or codes on their users’ web browser or e-mail configurations. If your ISP’s email and web server addresses are configured with single words (www, e-mail, home, pop3, etc.) rather than entire Internet addresses or IP addresses, the Access Point may have problems by sending or receiving mail and by accessing the Internet.

The solution is to determine the true web addresses behind your ISPs code words. You can determine the IP and web addresses of your ISP’s servers by “pinging” them.

Important: If you don’t have your ISP’s web and e-mail IP addresses, you must either get them from your ISP or follow these steps prior to connecting your Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G to your network.
