TROUBLESHOOTING ORBAN MODEL 8600
You Cannot Access the Internet After
Making a Direct or Modem Connection to the 8600:
If you are connected to the 8600 via modem or direct connect, you cannot access
any other TCP/IP connection . The PPP connection becomes the default protocol
and the default gateway defaults to the 8600 unit’s IP address. This means that
all existing network connections point to the 8600 unit. To correct this:
A) In Start / Settings / Network and Dialup Connections, open the direct or mo-
dem connection you are using to connect to 8600.
B) Select “Properties.”
C) Click the tab that reads “Networking.”
D) Highlight “Internet protocol (TCP/IP).”
E) Select “Properties.”
F) Select “Advanced.”
G) Uncheck the “Use default gateway on remote network” box.
H) Select “OK.”
If this “Use default gateway on remote network” box is not selected, the
gateway will not point to the 8600 unit when you establish a direct or
modem connection.
