Leds Never Turn Off; Lan Or Internet Port Leds Not On; Troubleshooting The Web Configuration Interface - NETGEAR ProSafe FVG318 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g VPN Firewall Model FVG318

LEDs Never Turn Off

When the firewall is turned on, the LEDs turn on briefly and then turn off. If all the LEDs stay on,
there is a fault within the firewall.
If all LEDs are still on one minute after power up:
• Cycle the power to see if the firewall recovers.
• Clear the firewall's configuration to factory defaults. This will set the firewall's IP address to
192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in
Password" on page
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

LAN or Internet Port LEDs Not On

If either the LAN LEDs or Internet LED do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check
the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the firewall and at the hub or
workstation.
• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.
• Be sure you are using the correct cable:
When connecting the firewall's Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that was
supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through
Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface

If you are unable to access the firewall's Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local
network, check the following:
• Check the Ethernet connection between the PC and the firewall as described in the previous
section.
• Make sure your PC's IP address is on the same subnet as the firewall. If you are using the
recommended addressing scheme, your PC's address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.254.
