If the product is working properly, the following should be apparent from this screen:

1) The Client should have an IP address within the prescribed range.

2) The “DHCP” and “Default Gateway” should list the product’s local port address (the

device’s IP address).

3) The DNS server IP addresses should match the DNS server IP addresses set in the

device.

IPCONFIG.EXE

For WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP, go to Start  Programs  Accessories  Command

IPCONFIG /RENEW to renew IP addresses. For a list of the IPCONFIG commands, type in

IPCONFIG /? .

How can I test the whole path (PC←→Router←→outside
