The DG824M gateway has a diagnostics feature. You can use the diagnostics menu to perform the
following functions from the gateway:
• Ping an IP Address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host.
• Perform a DNS Lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the
DNS server configuration is working.
• Display the Routing Table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with.
• Trace the Routing Path to identify any connectivity or congestion problems in the network.
• Reboot the Router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems
with the router’s network connection.

Diagnostics heading to display the menu shown in Figure 5-9.
