this go to Start-->Run... and type "winipcfg" in the Run box. Press the "More Info" button on
the bottom right and make sure your network adapter that is attached to the DI-701 is selected
in the Ethernet Adapter Information box.
Look at the box labeled DHCP Server, this should be the DI-701's IP address (192.168.0.1 as
default). If it is not, or it is blank or reads 255.255.255.255 then you may have a cabling problem
(see above), or you may have another DHCP server on your network. In either case, please
follow the installation guide again, and ONLY connect the client, DI-701 and your modem. If
you are on a network, it is recommended that you contact your IS manager for further
assistance with DHCP settings. Placing a DI-701 configured to pass out IP addresses on a
LAN with an existing DHCP server may cause problems throughout a network as the DI-701
issues new IP addresses to computers that log on to the network. It is recommended you
disable other DHCP serves on the network if you plan to use the DI-701.
"My Internet application won't work"
To protect your computer from Hackers, the DI-701 uses port blocking. A port is like a door
into your computer. Each service on the Internet has an associated port. The DI-701 protects
your computer by closing certain ports off so that malicious programs can't access your
computer. Sometimes, however, you are using an application on purpose that uses one of
these blocked ports. In this case you will have to manually open the port to allow the
application to work properly.
Some applications that may be affected:
Some Email Programs
Some Multi-Player Games
Some Internet Phone/Video Conferencing Applications
The first thing you will need to do is determine what port or ports the application uses.
Typically the fastest way to find this information is to go to the software maker's web site. Go
to their support section and look for information related to NAT, Proxy Server, or Firewall.
This information will typically list 1 to 3 ports that need to be opened for proper operation of
the software. If you can't find the necessary information, call the software maker and ask what
ports need to be opened for the software to work through a firewall.
Once you have the necessary port information, it is a simple matter to actually open the ports
on the DI-701.
A. Launch the DI-701 Setup Software and press "Find". Once the DI-701 Setup Software finds
the DI-701, press "Configure":
