Chapter 4 Troubleshooting If the Broadband Router is not functioning properly, you can refer first to this chapter for simple troubleshooting before contacting your service provider. This could save your time and effort but if the symptoms persist, then consult your service provider. Problems Starting Up the Broadband Router Problem None of the LEDs are on when you turn on the Broadband Router. Corrective Action Check the connection between the adapter and the Broadband Router.
Billion BIPAC 6600 Broadband Firewall Router Why won't my Internet application work? To protect your computer from Hackers, the product uses port-blocking algorithm. A port likes a door into your computer. Each service on the Internet has an associated port. The product protects your computer by closing certain ports off so that malicious programs can't access your computer. Sometimes, however, you are using an application on purpose that uses one of these blocked ports.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting WINIPCFG.EXE For Win95, 98, ME, the WINIPCFG program is used to gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust TCP/IP connections. You can also renew leases (if allowed by the network), and get the current IP address assignments through this program. 1. From Windows, go to Start Run, enter WINIPCFG, and click “OK”. 2. The following figure displays the adapter address and current TCP/IP address.

The default gateway is the server through which the client connects to the Internet. The DHCP Server identifies the network server (i.e. BIPAC 6600) that assigns IP addresses to computers on the network.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting For example, you can enter PING command in MS-DOS prompt (or after choosing START_ RUN from the Start menu) as below in sequence. PC to Router ( e.g. ping 192.168.1.254 ) If there is no reply from router, please verify the PC, cables, HUB/Switch and router. PC to external station with IP address (e.g. ping 168.95.192.1 ) If there is no reply from external station, please verify the router, cables, DSL/Cable modem, and connection protocols.
Billion BIPAC 6600 Broadband Firewall Router For example, if you set the Service Port number 80 (Web) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all incoming requests with router’s public IP address from outside users will be forwarded to the local server with IP address of 192.168.1.2. What is DMZ host? Regarding the DMZ Host (private IP address), it is a local computer exposed to the Internet.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting How many PCs can share this single BIPAC 6600 simultaneously? Basically, it is depended on your subnet mask setting in router. For example, if you set 255.255.255.0 for subnet mask, router will allow up to 253 users to share the outgoing bandwidth. This is also the default setting in router. Which connection method should I select in WAN-ISP setting window? The broadband firewall router supports four kinds of access method to establish a connection as below.
