N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3

If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out

If the path is not functioning correctly, you might have one of the following problems:

•Wrong physical connections

For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to which you are connected.

•Wrong network configuration

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

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

Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device

After you verify that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device:

1.From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.

2.In the Windows Run screen, type: ping -n 10 IP address

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

If the path is functioning correctly, replies as described in Test the LAN Path to Your Modem Router on page 146 display. If you do not receive replies:

•Check that your computer has the IP address of your modem router listed as the default modem router. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the modem router is listed as the default router.

•Check that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.

•If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account name on the Internet Setup screen (see Internet Setup on page 24).

•Your ISP might be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers.

Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your modem, but some additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. In this case, configure your modem router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized computer.
