Your computer can establish a physical connection to the Gateway. The computer and the DSL
Gateway must be directly connected using either the USB or Ethernet ports on the Gateway.
The SpeedStream Gateway is installed correctly and powered on.
The TCP/IP protocol is installed on all computers on your network. (If you need to install
TCP/IP, refer to your system documentation or Windows Help.)
