1.5.1 Network Testing There are two ways to test your Network whether it can work on Internet or not. They are “Testing with Internet Browser” and “Testing with Dos”. 1.5.2 Testing with Internet Browser Open an Internet Browser, such as Internet Explore or Netscape. Input a valid web address you like, for example, http://www.yahoo.com in the web address blank and then press enter. If the website appears, that means your Internet is working under normal situation. 1.5.2.1 Step 1.
Step 2. Input cmd in the blank, and then click OK button. The Command Prompt window appears. Step 3. Input ipconfig in the flashing area then press enter. You will get an IP Address 192.168.1.100, for example, and Default Gateway as 192.168.1.1. Step 4. Ping a legal WAN Address such as 192.168.1.1. If Internet works, it will show Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time = 3ms TTL =64, for example.
If it can’t work, it will show Request timed out.
