the installation guide again, and ONLY connect the device, the client, and your modem
together. If you are on a network, it is recommended that you contact your IS or IT Manager
for further assistance with DHCP settings. Placing an IP Sharing Device that passes out IP
addresses on a LAN with an existing DHCP server may cause problems throughout a network.
It is recommended you disable other DHCP serves on the network if you plan on using this
product on the network.
IP address conflict
When you see the message box prompted for IP address conflict, this means two or more
workstations have the same IP address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server, on the
problem workstation, for Win 98/ME, please run the "
winipcfg
" utility, select the correct
Network Adapter, click “release all” to release all current configuration first, then click “renew
all” to renew the IP information again. For Win 2000, open a DOS prompt window, at the
command prompt, type in
ipconfig/release
and hit
Enter
to release the IP information, and
then type in
ipconfig/renew
and hit
Enter
to renew the IP information. If the device’s DHCP
function is disabled and static IP addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double
check each workstation’s IP address for duplicate IP.
Can not access the Internet
Find the workstation’s “Computer” name and then input this name in the device’s
“Device/Computer Name” field in Local Port field. If you are a Cable Modem user, do this
only when your cable Modem Internet Service Provider provides you with a specific
“Computer Name”.
