Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
I have an FTP or Web server on my network. How can I make it available to
users on the Internet?
For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 8080 to the IP address of the
server and set up the Web server to receive on that port, as well. (Configuring
the server for static IP address use is recommended.) For an FTP server, enable
port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of the server. (Configuring the
server for static IP address use is recommended.)
Connections
Everything appears to be set up properly with the Router, but I can’t con-
nect to the Internet. Why?
If you had your Internet connection already set up on your computer, you may
need to power cycle your cable modem before the Router can sync up with the
modem. Unplug the cab modem and the Router from their respective power
outlets, and shut down your computer. Wait at least five minutes, then plug
in the modem. Once your modem is back up, you can plug in the Router and
restart your computer.
How many computers can be connected through the Router?
The Router is capable of 254 connections, but having no more than 45 connec-
tions is recommended. As the number of connections increases, the available
speed for each computer decreases.
Security
What is WEP?
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the standard that encrypts 802.11g/802.11b
communications.
What is the default username for the Router?
The default username for the router is admin (all lower case). To activate the
password to protect the Router, change the default password, which is blank by
default. Remote management (see page 53) is not available on the Router until
the default password is changed.
