Why can't I connect to the Web Configurator? You can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser. Why is that i can ping to outside hosts, but not access Internet websites? Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address setting. As the router will assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC.
Appendix C Glossary Address mask A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet address and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet mask.

every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as Routers. DMT Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation Downstream rate The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network machine to the user's premises machine. DSLAM Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplex Dynamic IP Addresses A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network.
Internet address An IP address is assigned in blocks of numbers to user organizations accessing the Internet. These addresses are established by the United States Department of Defense's Network Information Center. Duplicate addresses can cause major problems on the network, but the NIC trusts organizations to use individual addresses responsibly. Each address is a 32-bit address in the form of x.x.x.x where x is an eight- bit number from 0 to 255.

RFC Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org.. Route The path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram may follow can include many gateways and many physical networks.
accessed by multiple users, such as Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP address. You will need that address during your Router's configuration. Subnet For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.
