TroubleshootingSoftware Version BNX v1.2
Troubleshooting the ISP Connection
If your gateway is unable to access the Internet and your Cable Link LED is on, you may need to
register the Cable MAC Address and/or Device MAC Address of you gateway with your cable
service provider. This is described in
“Connecting the CG814WG v2 Gateway” on page 3-2
.
Additionally, your PC may not have the gateway configured as its TCP/IP gateway. If your PC
obtains its information from the gateway by DHCP, reboot the PC and verify the gateway address
as described in
“DHCP Configuration of TCP/IP in Windows 2000 ” on page C-11
.
Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet
to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP
network is made easier by using the ping utility in your PC or workstation.
Testing the LAN Path to Your Gateway
You can ping the gateway from your PC to verify that the LAN path to your gateway is set up
correctly.
To ping the gateway from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1.
From the Windows toolbar, click on the Start button and select Run.
2.
In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the gateway, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3.
Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
•
Wrong physical connections
