21.2 Problems with the LAN Interface

Problem

Corrective Action

 

 

Can’t ping any workstation on the LAN.

Check the 10M/100M LEDs on the front panel. One of these LEDs should be on. If they are both off, check the cables between your ZyWALL and hub or the station.

Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent between the ZyWALL and the workstations.

21.3 Problems with the WAN interface

Table 21-3 Troubleshooting the WAN interface

Problem

Corrective Action

Cannot get WAN IP from the ISP.

The WAN IP is provided when the ISP recognizes the user as an

 

authorized user after verifying the MAC address or Host Name or

 

User ID.

 

Find out the verification method used by your ISP.

 

 

 

If the ISP checks the LAN MAC Address, tell the ISP the WAN MAC

 

address of the ZyWALL. The WAN MAC can be obtained from menu

 

24.1.

 

In case the ISP does not allow you to use a new MAC, you can clone

 

the MAC from the LAN as the WAN MAC and send it to the ISP

 

using Menu 2 - WAN Setup. We recommend you configure this

 

menu anyway even if your ISP presently does not require MAC

 

address authentication

 

If the ISP checks the Host Name, enter host name in the System

 

Name field in Menu 1 - General Setup when you connect the

 

ZyWALL to a cable/xDSL modem.

 

If the ISP checks the User ID, make sure that you have entered the

 

correct Service Type, user name (in the My Login field) and

 

password (in the My Password field) in Menu 4 - Internet Access

 

Setup.

Can’t connect to a remote node or

Check menu 24.1 to verify the line status. If it indicates Down, then
