2.In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the gateway, as in this example:

ping 192.168.0.1

3.Click OK.

You should see a message like this one:

-Make sure the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, see “Using LEDs to Troubleshoot” on page 39.

-Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and gateway.

•Wrong network configuration.

-Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation.

-Verify that the IP address for your gateway and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.

Testing the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device

After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device. From the Windows run menu, type:

PING -n 10 <IP address>

where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
