T: I cannot access my ISP’s home page, why?
Some ISPs, such as @Home, require that their host name be specifically
configured into your computer before you can surf their local web pages. If you
are unable to access your ISP’s home page, enter your ISP’s Domain Name
into the OnePage Setup (3-3) to enable all computers in your LAN access to it.
If you only want to allow computers to access these home pages, open the
TCP/IP Properties window (2-4) on these computers, click the
“DNS
Configuration”
tab and enter your ISP’s Domain Name in the
“Domain
Name Search Suffix”
location.

For Windows 95/98, use a MS-Dos prompt to run “winipcfg” (“Ipconfig” for
Windows NT). Check that the computer’s IP Address is within the range of
192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254 and the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. If you
are using a fixed IP address, also check the Default Gateway IP Address and
DNS address in
“More”
