Troubleshooting

•

Make sure your computer’s IP address is not shown as 169.254.x.x:

Recent versions of Windows and Mac OS will generate and assign an IP address if the

computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of

169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the

wireless game adapter and reboot your computer.

•

If your wireless game adapter’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current

IP address, clear the wireless game adapter’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the

wireless game adapter’s IP address to 192.168.0.202. This procedure is explained in

“Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 5-7

.

•

Try quitting the browser and launching it again.

•

Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default password is

password

. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this information.

If the wireless game adapter does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration

interface, check the following:

•

When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to

another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.

•

Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but

the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, change the wireless

game adapter’s administration password to

password

and the IP address to 192.168.0.202. You

can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

•

Use the Restore function of the Web Configuration Manager (see

“Restoring the Factory

Defaults” on page 4-12

).

•

Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless game adapter. Use this method

for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. See

“Reset Push

Button” on page 2-5

for a description of this button.

Appendix B

Understanding IP Addresses

This appendix provides information about understanding IP addresses, which you must assign to

the NETGEAR WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter when operating in a TCP/IP environment.

IP Addresses and the Internet

Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected across the world, every machine on the Internet must

have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct destination. Blocks of

addresses are assigned to organizations by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Individual users and small organizations may obtain their addresses either from the IANA or from

an Internet service provider (ISP). You can contact IANA at www.iana.org.

The Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 32-bit address structure. The address is usually written in dot

notation (also called dotted-decimal notation), in which each group of eight bits is written in

decimal form, separated by decimal points.

For example, the following binary address:

11000011

00100010

00001100

00000111

is normally written as:

195.34.12.7

The latter version is easier to remember and easier to enter into your computer.

In addition, the 32 bits of the address are subdivided into two parts. The first part of the address

identifies the network, and the second part identifies the host node or station on the network. The

dividing point may vary depending on the address range and the application.

There are five standard classes of IP addresses. These address classes have different ways of

determining the network and host sections of the address, allowing for different numbers of hosts

on a network. Each address type begins with a unique bit pattern, which is used by the TCP/IP

software to identify the address class. After the address class has been determined, the software

can correctly identify the host section of the address. The follow figure shows the three main

address classes, including network and host sections of the address for each address type.
