If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your

PC's IP address is not compatible with the Broadband VPN Gateway 's IP

Address. (See next item.)

If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Broadband VPN Ga- teway 's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on check- ing your PC's TCP/IP settings.

Ensure that your PC and the Broadband VPN Gateway are on the same net- work segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
