Right click on the icon named “Local Area Connection”
and from the menu that appears, select “Properties”.
►
Double Click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and place
a dot beside both “Obtain an IP address automatically”

Reboot the computer.
►
Type in the command prompt window “ipconfig” then
press the Enter key. Text similar to the following should
be seen:
“Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1”
5.
If the line “IP address” has no entry or reports “Media
Disconnected” or is not between 192.168.1.100 and
192.168.1.150 then the computer is not being issued an IP
address by the server and the physical connectivity between
the two devices should be carefully checked.
6.
If the line “IP address” has an entry that is between
192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200 then good Ethernet
communications to the server have been established and you
should proceed to step 7.
7.
Open you web browser and click on “Tools”, then “Internet
Options”, then “Connections”. Ensure that “Never dial a
connection” has been selected, then click on “LAN Settings”
and ensure that none of the boxes have been checked. Then
click “O.K”. Now restart your browser.
8.
Should there still be no response from the server when
“http://192.168.1.1” is typed into the browser then reboot the
computer and try to connect again. If there is still no response
then call your system installer for more detailed analysis.
