APPENDIX A | Troubleshooting

The information outlined in this section describes some useful steps for getting your computer and

Barricade router online.

A.1 | Verify you are connected to the Barricade Router

If you are unable to access the Barricade’s web-based administration pages, then you may not be

properly connected or configured. The screen shots in this section were taken on a Windows 2000

machine, but the same steps will apply to Windows 95/98/Me/XP.

To determine your TCP/IP configuration status, please follow the steps below:

1.

Click [Start] then choose [Run]

2.

Type “cmd” or “command” (without the quotes) to open a DOS prompt.

3.

In the DOS window, type “ipconfig” and verify the information that is displayed.

4.

If you computer is setup for DHCP, then your TCP/IP configuration should be similar to the

information displayed:

•

IP Address: 192.168.2.X (x is number between 100 and 199)

•

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

•

Gateway: 192.168.2.1

If you have an IP address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX then see section A.2.

If you have another IP address configured, see section A.3.

A.2 | I am getting an IP Address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX

If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that you are properly connected to the

Barricade Router.

Confirm that you have a good link light on the Barricade’s port to which this computer is

connected.

If not, please try another cable.

If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as described in section A.1 and type

“ipconfig /renew” (without the quotes)

If you are still unable to get an IP Address from the Barricade, reinstall your network adapter.

Please refer to your adapter manual for instructions.

A.3 | I have another IP Address displayed

If you have another IP address listed, then the PC may not be configured for a DHCP connection.

Please refer to

Chapter 4 | Configure your Computer

for information.

Once you have confirmed your computer is configured for DHCP, and then please follow the steps

below.

1.

Open a DOS window as described above.

2.

Type “ipconfig /release” (without the quotes)

3.

Then type “ipconfig /renew” (without the quotes)

Once you are able to get a valid IP address from the Barricade Router, then you can now access

the web-based Administration pages.

If you still are not getting an IP address from the Barricade, please reset the router as outlined

in Chapter 2 and follow the steps outlined in this appendix again.

If you still cannot access the router once you have reset it, please contact SMC Technical

Support.

A.4 | I can’t access my e-mail, web or I am getting corrupted data from the Internet.

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting may need to be adjusted. By default, the MTU is set

at 1454.

For most DSL users, it is strongly recommended to use MTU 1492.

If you are having some difficulties, perform the following steps:

1.

To connect to the Barricade g, launch your web browser, and enter http://192.168.2.1 or the

IP address of the Barricade in the Address bar.

2.

Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is smcadmin.)

3.

Click on [WAN] and then select the [PPPoE] option.

4.

Look for the MTU option and in the MTU Size field, enter 1492.

5.

Click the [SAVE SETTINGS] button to continue.

If your difficulties continue, change the Size to different values. Try this list of values, one value at

a time, in this order, until your problem is solved:

APPENDIX B | Troubleshooting Internet Connections

Put information here about specific ISP tricks and how to avoid those basic setup calls.

B.1 | I have a Dynamic IP connection and I can’t get online

Most cable companies use a Dynamic IP configuration to provide Internet access. If you have this

type of connection, and are unable to get connected, please follow the steps outlined below:

1.

Unplug the power from your Cable or DSL modem for 2 mins.

2.

Confirm that your Barricade router is configured for a Dynamic IP configuration

3.

Plug the power back into your Modem.

4.

Wait for your Modem to connect to the network, and then click on the status page of the

router to confirm that you are online.

The reason this process works is because certain broadband connections require a MAC address to

gain network access. This MAC address can be changed by following the above process to re-set the

approved MAC address to the MAC address of the Barricade router.
