Connectivity check How to do a simple connectivity check on the web pages, is described in “3.3 Testing your Internet Connection” on page 27.

Test result

Explanation

 

 

 

Your DSL line is not synchronised.

 

Check if your telephone line is correctly

 

connected to your SpeedTouch™.

 

Check the DSL LED, as described in “ Checking

 

the LEDs” on page 33.

 

 

 

No ATM activity detected on your DSL line.

 

 

 

No Ethernet activity.

 

In case you are connected through a protocol other

 

than PPPoE, this check is not applicable; the result

 

will always be ‘No Ethernet activity’.

 

 

 

Authentication failed: check your user name

 

and password. The user name is in most cases

 

in the form of username@ISP.

 

Your connection is disconnected.

 

Could not bring up link.

 

 

No IP

No IP address or no DNS server has been configured.

 

During IP address negotiation, there was an IPCP

 

error or a DHCP error.

 

 

No Internet

This test sends 1 ping to each address of a

 

configured list of IP addresses. The test succeeds if

 

all addresses can be reached. If DNS1 and DNS2 are

 

part of the list, reaching 1 of both is enough.

 

 

No DNS

If this step fails, it may be because the DNS service

 

provided by your ISP has a problem.
