If you can't connect
If the Router does not respond, check the following:
•
The DSL/Cable Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is
powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
•
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
•
Enter the command:
ping 192.168.254.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the DSL/Cable Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
•
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.253 to be compatible with the DSL/Cable
Router's default IP Address of 192.168.254.254. Also, the
Network Mask
must
be set to 255.255.255.0. See
Chapter 4 - PC Configuration
for details on
checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.
•
Ensure that your PC and the DSL/Cable Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
