■ If you cannot browse to the Router, use the winipcfg utility in
Windows XP to verify that your computer has received the correct
address information from the Router. From the Start menu, choose
Run and then enter
cmd. Check that the computer has an IP address of
the form 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx is in the range 2-254), the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default Router is 192.168.1.1 (the
address of the Router). If these are not correct, use the Release and
Renew functions to obtain a new IP address from the Router. Under
Windows 2000,XP,and Vista, use the ipconfig/all
command-line utility
to perform the same functions.
■ If you still cannot browse to the Router, then use the Discovery

but the Data DSL LED is off, confirm the login details are correct and
the ADSL service is available (contact your ISP for the status)
■ Confirm that ADSL filter is connected.
■ Ensure that you have entered the correct information into the Router
configuration screens as required by your Internet Service Provider. Use
the “Internet Settings” screen to verify this.
■ Check that the PPPoE, PPPoA or PPTP user name, password and
service name are correct, if these are required. Only enter a PPPoE

On Windows computers, this can be found under Control Panel >
