Configuring Client TCP/IP
28
Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring
an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade™,
use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully
connected to the Wireless Barricade™. The following example
shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS
window. First, execute the Ping command:
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Wireless
Barricade™ has been successfully established.
If you get the following message,
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.
Check the following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between
the Wireless Barricade™ and the computer?
The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade™ and
the Link LED of the network card on your computer
must be on.
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Wireless Barricade™ is 192.168.2.1,
the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 -
192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Wireless Barricade™
you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
