Test The Path From Your Pc To A Remote Device - NETGEAR CG2003D User Manual

Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
-
installed and configured on your PC or workstation.
Verify that the IP address for your Gateway and your workstation are correct and
-
that the addresses are on the same subnet.

Test the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device

After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote
device. From the Windows run menu, type:
PING -n 10
<IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP's DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do
not receive replies:
Check that your PC has the IP address of your gateway listed as the default gateway. If
•
the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in
your PC's Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the Gateway is listed as
the default gateway. See the link to the online document
Appendix B.
Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified
•
by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
Check that your Cable Link LED is on.
•
If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name
•
in the Basic Settings menu.
