7. Can you PING the WAN IP? Your ISP should have provided the IP address of their server. If you can ping the Gateway and your protocols are configured correctly, you should be able to ping the ISPs network. If you cannot PING the ISPs network, make sure you are using the correct protocols with the correct VPI VCI values.

The DSL Link LED is always off. 1. Make sure you have DSL service. You should get some kind of information from your ISP that states that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to the phone line; you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear high-pitched noise, contact your ISP .
Appendices A.2 Frequently Asked Questions What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Gateway will support? The Gateway will support up to 253 IP addresses. Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications.

Appendices starts blinking, it means that the reset process is complete. The default settings are then restored. How do I resolve issues with signal loss? There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every obstacle placed between the Gateway and a wireless PC will create signal loss.
Appendices Appendix B Wireless Security A Brief Overview Whenever data - in the form of files, emails, or messages - is transmitted over your wireless network, it is open to attacks. Wireless networking is inherently risky because it broadcasts information on radio waves. Just like signals from your cellular or cordless phone can be intercepted, signals from your wireless network can also be compromised.
Page 119
Appendices Even keeping your network settings, such as the SSID and the channel, secret won’t prevent a hacker from listening for those beacon messages and stealing that infor- mation. This is why most experts in wireless networking strongly recommend the use of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
Page 120
Appendices Active Attacks Hackers use Active Attacks for three purposes: 1) stealing data, 2) using your net- work, and 3) modifying your network so it’s easier to hack in the next time. In an Active Attack, the hacker has gained access to all of your network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) and is in your network.
Appendices B.1 Maximizing Wireless Security Security experts will all tell you the same thing: Nothing is guaranteed. No technology is secure by itself. An unfortunate axiom is that building the better mousetrap can often create a better mouse. This is why, in the examples below, your implementation and administration of network security measures is the key to maximizing wireless security.
Page 122
Appendices 3) Network Devices With every wireless networking device you use, keep in mind that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. If they get into the hands of a hacker, so do all of your settings. So keep an eye on them. 4) Administrator passwords Your network administrator is the only person who can change network set- tings.
Page 123
Appendices 7) Firewalls Once a hacker has broken into your wireless network, if it is connected to your wired network, they’ll have access to that, too. This means that the hacker has effectively used your wireless network as a backdoor through your firewall, which you’ve put in place to protect your network from just this kind of attack via the Internet.

Appendices Current encryption technology offers 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. If you are using 64-bit WEP , swap out your old wireless units for 128-bit encryption right away. Where encryption is concerned, the bigger and more complex, the better. A WEP key is a string of hexadecimal characters that your wireless network uses in two ways.
Appendices Appendix C Glossary 10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs. 100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of Category 5 UTP or STP wire. 1000BASE-T - A 100 Mbps technology based on the Ethernet/CD network access method.

Appendices depending on how long a user is likely to require the Internet connection at a particular location. It’s especially useful in education and other environments where users change frequently. Using very short leases, DHCP can dynamically recon- figure networks in which there are more computers than there are available IP addresses.
Page 130
Appendices Dynamic IP Address - IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server. Network devices that serve mul- tiple users, such as servers and printers, are usually assigned static IP addresses. Dynamic Routing - The ability for a router to forward data via a different route based on the current conditions of the communications circuits.

Appendices Full Duplex - The ability of a networking device to receive and transmit data simultaneously. Gateway - A system that interconnects networks. Half Duplex - Data transmission that can occur in two directions over a single line, but only one direction at a time. Hardware - The physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other information technology devices.

Appendices LAN (Local Area Network) - The computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or office. Latency - The time delay between when the first bit of a packet is received and the last bit is forwarded. MAC Address - The MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a net- work adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level.

Appendices Port Mirroring - Port mirroring, also known as a roving analysis port, is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied.
Page 135
Appendices Roaming - The ability to take a wireless device from one access point’s range to another without losing the connection. RTS (Request To Send) - A packet sent when a computer has data to transmit. The computer will wait for a CTS (Clear To Send) message before sending data.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A method (protocol) used along with the Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of message units between computers over the Internet.
Page 137
Appendices provide sequencing of the packets that the data arrives in. This means that the application program that uses UDP must be able to make sure that the entire mes- sage has arrived and is in the right order. Network applications that want to save processing time because they have very small data units to exchange (and therefore very little message reassembling to do) may prefer UDP to TCP .
WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying, defining, and managing IP addresses within a network. A commonly used utility for configuring networks with static IP addresses. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices that communicate with each other wirelessly.
