Check the cable connection between the ZyWALL and your computer or hub. Refer to
for details.
Ping the ZyWALL from a LAN computer. Make sure your computer’s Ethernet card is
installed and functioning properly.
In the computer, click
Start
, (

and then
Command Prompt
. In
the
Command Prompt
window, type "ping" followed by the ZyWALL’s LAN IP address
(192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The ZyWALL should reply. Otherwise,
refer to
.
If you’ve forgotten the ZyWALL’s password, use the
RESET
button. Press the button in for
about 10 seconds (or until the
PWR
LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the
ZyWALL to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see
your User’s Guide for details).
If you’ve forgotten the ZyWALL’s LAN or WAN IP address, you can check the IP address in
the SMT via the console port. Connect your computer to the
CONSOLE
port using a console
cable. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as
HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow
control and 9600 bps port speed.
Cannot access
the Internet.
Check the ZyWALL’s connection to the Ethernet jack with Internet access. Make sure the
Internet gateway device (such as a DSL modem) is working properly.
Click
WAN
in the navigation panel to verify your settings.
Cannot establish
a VPN
connection.
Make sure the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router use the same VPN settings. Click

in the navigation panel to configure advanced settings.
