Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your
Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)
and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
If you connect successfully, you are ready to browse the
Web from this computer!
Congratulations! You have established communication and
your computer is now connected to the Internet. If you want
to connect more computers or a network device to the X5,
continue with the next section, Connecting Additional
Computers to the Internet. Otherwise, you are done with
this user’s guide. Enjoy your X5!
Important!
If you did not connect, see Appendix D: Troubleshooting
on page 57.
Step 4: Connecting Additional
Computers to the Internet
The X5 supports the direct connection of up to four computers
with Ethernet ports. (Windows users can connect a fifth computer
using its USB port.)
To increase the number of Internet connections, you can plug a
network device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or
switch) into one of the modem’s LAN ports. This expands the
maximum number of Internet connections supported by the
modem to 253.
Note:
Depending on how many computers/network devices you plan to
connect, you may need to purchase additional Ethernet cables. The
X5 comes with one Ethernet cable and one USB cable.
