Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DGL-4500. Read
the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows
®
XP. If you have
a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
1..Why.can’t.I.access.the.web-based.configuration.utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on
the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself.
Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
• Netscape 8 or higher
• Mozilla 1.7.12 (5.0) or higher
• Opera 8.5 or higher
• Safari 1.2 or higher (with Java 1.3.1 or higher)
• Firefox 1.5 or higher
• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using
a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may
not be on.
• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,
Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows
®
XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the
help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
