I can’t access the Internet.

Possible Solution:

Make sure the power cord and all of the Ethernet cables are connected correctly. This includes the cables connecting the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, the modem, and all of the computers.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that your PC is using an IP address that is within the default range of 192.168.123.xxx. Make sure the address of the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The Default Gateway should be the IP address of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, which is 192.168.123.254. To verify all of these settings, perform the following steps:

Windows 95, 98, or Me Users:

Click Windows Start and then Run. Type winipcfg and click OK. Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server data to make sure they are correct. If the information is not correct, click Release All and then click Renew All.

Windows NT, 2000, or XP Users:

Click Windows Start and then Run. Type cmd and click OK. At the DOS prompt, type ipconfig /all. Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server data to make sure they are correct. If the information is not correct, type ipconfig /release and press ENTER. Then, type ipconfig /renew and press ENTER.

Possible Solution:

You can reboot the Wireless Cable/DSL Router by unplugging and plugging in the power supply.
