up, and some key information the Cable Modem received during the initialization process with your cable
company. If
Network Access shows ―Allowed,‖ then your cable company has configured your gateway to
have Internet connectivity. If not, you may not have Internet access, and should contact your cable
company to resolve this.

4. Diagnostics
This page offers basic diagnostic tools for you to utilize when connectivity problems occur. When you
ping an Internet device, you send a packet to its TCP/IP stack, and it sends one back to yours. To use the
ping Test, enter the information needed and press
Start Test
; the Result will be displayed in the lower part
of the window. Press
Abort Test
to stop, and
Clear Results
to clear the result contents.
Note: Firewalls may cause pings to fail but still provide you TCP/IP access to selected devices behind
them. Keep this in mind when pinging a device that may be behind a firewall. Ping is most useful to verify
connectivity with PCs have no firewall, such as the PCs on your LAN side.
