Section 11 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-400. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. 1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet nor do you have to be connected to the Internet.
Section 11 - Troubleshooting • Configure your Internet settings: • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the Default Level button to restore the settings to their defaults. • Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. • Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
Section 11 - Troubleshooting 3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router? If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and/or Hotmail, we suggest gradually lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc). Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400. To find the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to.
Section 11 - Troubleshooting You should start at 1472 and decrease the MTU value by 10 until you get a reply. Once you get a reply, increase the MTU value by 2 until you get a fragmented packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size should be 1480, which would be the optimum value for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480).
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide compatible, easy-to-use high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics What is Wireless? Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequencies to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to place computers anywhere in your home or office while keeping them connected to your network. Why D-Link Wireless? D-Link is the worldwide leader and award-winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPANs. Bluetooth devices in a WPAN operate in a range of up to 30 feet away. Compared to WLANs, the speed and wireless operation range are both less, but in return Bluetooth doesn’t use nearly as much power, making it ideal for personal devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used? Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just in the home or at the office. People like the freedom of mobility and it is becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access. Wireless connections in public places are usually called “hotspots”.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Security Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on how to set it up. Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking: • Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Networking Basics Checking your IP address After setting up your PC’s connection to the router, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type command and click OK. At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Assigning a static IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or if you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. Step 2 Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
