Ping Test The Ping Test is usually accomplished within the Configure
TCP/IP step, where SBC Express pings the default gateway.
An explicit IP address can also be used.
Failure during this test can occur from invalid
network settings, the Ethernet cable not being
plugged in, the DSL modem not being in
synch, or if the specified IP address does not
allow a ping.
Make sure your Ethernet cable is plugged in
and powercycle your DSL modem. Use the
“Retry” button to try the test again.
DNS Test The DNS Test will determine the currently defined DNS
servers, attempt to ping them, and upon a successful ping,
will resolve a specified hostname to an IP address.
This test can fail if the DNS server is invalid.
If you entered static IP information, ensure you
entered the DNS servers correctly.
