Troubleshooting 5 This chapter provides information on how to resolve common problems experienced with router setup and configuration.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Ping utility You can use the ping utility to help determine whether a connection has been established on a network or to determine a numerical IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) based on an alphanumeric Internet or Web address such as www.gateway.com. Also, your router may have difficulty sending and receiving e-mail or connecting to the Internet if your ISP’s mail and server addresses are configured with single words, such as “mail,” “home,” or “pop3”.
Ping utility In the above example, note the line that states “Pinging mail.adelphia.net [64.8.50.100] with 32 bytes of data.” In this case “mail.adelphia.net” is the actual Web address of the mail server and does not need to be resolved. Write down this Web address and use it to replace your ISP’s one word mail server address (in your Web browser or e-mail program). However, if the ping utility returned only the IP address, you will need to determine the Web address.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Setting a static IP address Typically, the computers on your network are set to obtain an IP address dynamically (using the DHCP server function of the router) whenever they contact your local network. However, in certain cases, such as DMZ hosting or port forwarding, you have to assign a static IP address to a computer so that its address remains constant and it can be contacted at the same address over time.
Setting a static IP address To set a static IP address using Windows 2000: 1 2 Click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. 3 In the Components checked are used by this connection list, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties. 4 5 Click Use the following IP address. 6 7 8 In the Subnet Mask box, type 255.255.255.0. 9 Double-click Network and Dial-Up Connections, right-click the Local Area Connection that is associated with your network adapter card, then click t Properties.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting 5 In the IP Address box, type a unique IP address that will not be used by any other computer on your network. You can use IP addresses between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.99 (IP address 192.168.1.1 is assigned to the router and the router’s DHCP server assigns addresses from 192.168.1.100 up to 192.168.1.254). 6 7 In the Subnet Mask box, type 255.255.255.0. 8 9 Click the DNS Configuration tab, then click Enable DNS. 10 62 Click the Gateway tab.
Problem resolution Problem resolution Your wireless router will not turn on (no LEDs) ■ Make sure that the power cord and AC adapter are plugged in and connected to the router. ■ Make sure that the power strip, surge protector, or UPS (uninterruptable power supply) is operating correctly. Warning Use only the power cord and AC adapter provided with the router.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting ■ If the problem is isolated: ■ ■ Make sure that the configuration settings are correct (DHCP setting, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS), then restart the computer. If the problem is general: ■ Make sure that the router is on and configured correctly (see “Configuring the router” on page 16). ■ Make sure that the DSL or cable modem is on and operating correctly (check the LEDs on the front to make sure that it is receiving power and is not on standby).
Problem resolution ■ Make sure that all computers are using the same subnet mask. ■ If you are using DHCP though the router, make sure that the other computers are set to obtain IP addresses from DHCP. ■ If you assigned IP addresses to the computers, make sure that all computers have different IP addresses. For home networks, IP addresses should be 192.168.N.N where N is a number you assign between 0 and 254.

Appendix A: Glossary Terms you should know adapter (network) - A circuit board that plugs into a computer to let the computer connect to a network. beacon interval - A beacon is a periodic broadcast by the router to keep the network synchronized. The interval indicates how often the router broadcasts the beacon. broadband - When multiple signals or channels (such as voice, data, and video) share the bandwidth of a single medium.
Terms you should know DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) - A message sent by the router to a wireless network device to indicate when the next broadcast or multicast message will be sent. This parameter is necessary to accommodate devices using power save mode. dynamic IP address - An IP address that is temporarily assigned by a DHCP server. Many ISPs use dynamic IP addresses. When a computer connects the Internet, an ISP provides an IP address.
Appendix A: Glossary IP address - A a number that uniquely identifies a computer on the network. IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) - A standard method for providing data confidentiality, integrity, and the authentication between participating hosts. ISP (Internet service provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. Most ISPs also provide e-mail addresses.
Terms you should know PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - A communications protocol that combines the Ethernet and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) standards. PPPoE is sometimes used with broadband modems. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) - A protocol that lets a private network connect securely to another private network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private network (VPN). protocol - A set of communication rules.
Appendix A: Glossary TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - A combination of two protocols (TCP and IP) that lets computers communicate with Web servers. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - UDP is a simpler, faster protocol than TCP. UDP is used with IP. Unlike TCP, UDP drops packets without retries and packets are received in a different order than they were sent. UDP is often used in videoconferencing applications or games where speed is preferred over guaranteed message delivery.
