should be the Router’s IPAddress, and DNS (in "More".)

• Same as above, check the same setup values in the Status Monitor page

of the Cable/DSL Router.

4. When I enter a URL or IP address,I get a time out error.

• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your workstations IP

settings are correct (IP address, Subnet Mask, Default gateway and

DNS)

• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the

Cable/DSL & Voice Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON.

Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check

the LAN and power connections.)

• If the Cable/DSL Router is configured correctly, check your Internet

connection. (DSL/Cable modem etc.) to see that it is working correctly.

• Manually configure the TCP/IP with a DNSaddress provided by your

ISP.

5. I can’t obtain an IPaddress from my cable or DSL modem.

• Ensure that all of your cabling is properly connected and that all of the

router’s WAN and LANLEDs are correctly illuminated.

• Power down your cable or DSLmodem for a few seconds. Turn it back

on. After the modem goes through its self-test, check to see if you now

have an IPaddress.

• Ensure that your cable or DSLmodem is DHCP-capable.

• You may have to enter the router or host name in the Setup page of the

Router’s web-based utility. Go to page 19 for more information.

• Your ISPmay require Mac Addresses. Check with your ISP. This

address can be obtained in the Status screen of the Router’s Web-based

Utility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instant BroadbandTM Series

Does the Cable/DSLVoice Router support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the

only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard

for communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to

route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications

protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used from LAN to

LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from WAN to LAN.

Does the WANconnection of the Cable/DSL Voice Router support 100Mb

Ethernet? Because of the speed limitations of broadband Internet connec-

tions, the Cable/DSLRouter’s current hardware design supports 10Mb

Ethernet on its WAN port. It does, of course, support 100Mbps over in the

auto-sensing Fast Ethernet 10/100 switch on the LAN side of the router.

What is Network Address Translationand what is it used for? Network

Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private

LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level

of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never

transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Cable/DSLRouter

to be used with low cost Internet accounts, such as DSL or cable modems,

where only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user may have

many private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.

Does the Cable/DSL VoiceRouter support any operating system other than

Windows 95,Windows 98, Windows 2000,or Windows NT? Yes, but Linksys

does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or

troubleshooting of any non-Windows operating systems.

Does the Cable/DSL router support ICQ send file? Yes, with the following fix:

ICQ menu-> preference -> connections tab-> check "I am behind a firewall

or proxy", and set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in firewall setting.

The Internet user can then send a file to a user behind the router.

How do I get Napster to work with the Router? Napster is fully compatible

with the Router, but you must make sure that, during installation, you select

“no idea” when asked about your firewall selection. Set your proxy settings

to “No Proxy Server” in your File>Preferences.

I setup an Unreal Tournament Server,but others on the LAN cannot join. What do

I need to do? If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server running,

you need to create a static IP for each of the LAN computers and forward
