4.5 Easy Setup Troubleshooting

Before you run the Easy Setup on the embedded SpeedTouch™ pages, make sure
that:
The necessary connections are made.
The SpeedTouch™ is turned on.
Your host computer is configured as DHCP client or with a valid fixed IP
address.
If you have any problems, you can give the host computer a fixed IP
address in the same subnet as your SpeedTouch™ (If the
SpeedTouch™ is in its default settings, that is an address between
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253).
If you use fixed IP addresses, the SpeedTouch™ has to be configured
as DNS server (default).
Your Web browser must be able to run JavaScript. The following browsers are
supported:
Internet Explorer (5.0 and later)
Netscape Navigator (4.7 and later)
Mozilla Firefox (1.2 and later)
Opera (5 and later)
Safari (1.0 and later)
Konqueror (2.2 and later)
The Easy Setup only works if the proxy server is disabled or bypassed for local
addresses. For more information, refer to the Help of your Web browser.
