Basic Things To Check
Always check that your cabling and basic connections are functioning correctly
for the ports you are using. If there is a problem moving your data back and forth
at this level then higher level troubleshooting will be ineffective.
•
Are the cables correct (crossed cable versus straight cable.)
•
Are the interface lights (LAN, WAN, DMZ) on the firewall green when the
cables are plugged into your ethernet card/interface or xDSL, cable or
wireless modems?
•
Are the lights on the hub or ethernet interface of the device green where the
firewall cable is plugged in.
These answers must be yes before you do any more in-depth troubleshooting. If
there are problems here and you are using a hub, be sure to verify that you are not
using the uplink port. Otherwise try verifying the ethernet device is functioning
correctly and try switching the ethernet cable to one that you know is good.
If all of the physical connections are good (as tested above) the next steps is to
verify that you can:
1.
from your computer, communicate with the LAN interface of the MultiCom
Firewall
2.
from the MultiCom Firewall, communicate with your ISP
3.
from your computer, communicate with the Internet
TIP - A simple troubleshooting step is to reboot the MultiCom Firewall
and try again. If all else fails, reset the Firewall into the default mode
as described in the “Resetting the Default Configuration” Section on
page 105. Then reconfigure it using the Easy-Setup.
After checking these basic issues please continue to the Common Network
Problems on the next page which describe some common problems that may
occur on your Local Network.
Finally, look at the sections below that corresponds to the type of connection that
your ISP uses - DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP. These sections will explain common
problems on the Remote Network that connects you to your ISP and the Internet.
If you are still having problems consider calling technical support.
