■ Ensure that your computer is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router’s default
IP address of 192.168.1.1
■ Finally, use Ping command in MS-DOS mode to verify the network connection:
■ Ping 127.0.0.1 to check the TCP/IP stack of your computer.
■ Ping the Router’s IP address (Default: 192.168.1.1) to check for IP connectivity between
your computer and the Router.
Note: If you are not able to get to the web configuration screen for the NetComm
Cable/DSL Firewall Router, make sure that you disable the proxy setting within
your Internet browser and set your browser to access the Internet via the LAN.
T: What can I do if I have forgotten the password for NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall
Router?
You have to reset the Router back to its factory default setting by pushing the Reset button for
over 3 seconds.
Note: You will lose all previous settings.
T: I cannot access my ISP’s home page, why?
Some ISPs (such as Telstra BigPond) require their host name be specifically configured into your
computer before you can surf their local web pages. If you are unable to access your ISP’s home
page, enter your ISP’s Domain Name into the One Page Setup (3-3) to enable all computers in
your LAN to access it. If you only want to allow computers to access these home pages, open
the TCP/IP Properties window (2-4) on these computers, click open the “DNS
Configuration” tab and enter your ISP’s Domain Name in the “Domain Name Search
Suffix” location.
Client Side (Computers)
T: I can’t browse the Internet via the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router
Ensure your computer can ping or access the Router. See the previous section entitled “Why
can’t I configure the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router” for more information.
Check the status page of the Router to ensure connection to your ISP has been established.
T: I get a time out error when I enter a URL or IP address.
Check if other computers on the LAN are experiencing the same problem. If not, ensure the
computer’s IP settings are correct (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address and DNS).
Check the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router’s settings are correct (3-3).
