If you only want to confirm the Ethernet IP Address or DNS configuration of your router so that you may
configure the TCP/IP properties of your workstation appropriately, then from the Main Menu, go to Quick

Step II and configure the TCP/IP properties of your workstation appropriately.
Note: The Ethernet IP Address in the IP Setup of your router will be the Gateway IP address you configure on
your PC. The Ethernet Subnet Mask of your router will be the same Subnet Mask you specify in your PC.

Once you are able to telnet to your router and successfully ping an IP address on the Internet, you have
achieved Internet access from your workstation. If you are still unable to connect to the Internet using your
browser, you should confirm the Internet Options in the Control Panel of your workstation are set to connect via
a LAN (not a proxy server and not a modem or dial-up adapter).
If you are able to open your browser and connect to sites using IP addresses but not domain names (ex.
www.netopia.com), confirm the DNS Configuration in the TCP/IP properties of your workstation match the
Primary and Secondary Domain Name Server IP addresses configured in the Easy Setup of your router (see
"Step IV: Confirm your router's configuration" on page
A-9).
