Ensure that you do not have a Web proxy enabled on your computer. Go to the Control Panel and click on Internet Options. Select the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button at the bottom. Make sure that the Proxy Server option is unchecked.

If you cannot browse to the Router, use the winipcfg utility in

 

Windows 95/98/ME to verify that your computer has received the

 

correct address information from the Router. From the Start menu,

 

choose Run and then enter winipcfg. Check that the computer has an

 

IP address of the form 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx is in the range 2-254),

 

the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default Router is

 

192.168.1.1 (the address of the Router). If these are not correct, use

 

the Release and Renew functions to obtain a new IP address from the

 

Router. Under Windows 2000, use the ipconfig command-line utility to

 

perform the same functions.

 

If you still cannot browse to the Router, then use the Discovery

 

program on the accompanying CD-ROM as described in Appendix A.

 

 

Connecting to the

If you can browse to the Router configuration screens but cannot

Internet

access sites on the Internet, check the following:

 

Confirm that the physical connection between the Router and the

 

cable/DSL modem is OK, and that the link status LEDs on both Router

 

and modem are illuminated.

 

Confirm that the connection between the modem and the cable/DSL

 

interface is OK.

 

Ensure that you have entered the correct information into the

 

Router configuration screens as required by your Internet Service

 

Provider. Use the “Internet Settings” screen to verify this.

 

For DSL users, check that the PPPoE or PPTP user name,

 

password and service name are correct, if these are required. Only

 

enter a PPPoE service name if your ISP requires one.

 

For cable users, check whether your ISP requires a fixed MAC

 

(Ethernet) address. If so, use the Clone MAC Address feature in the

 

Router to ensure that the correct MAC address is presented.
