Finally click on OK and then OK from the main Network menu.
Windows will now install the revised network settings; please note that your original Windows installation CD might be
required. You should then reboot your PC.
That’s all there is to it for the client TCP/IP setup. The next section covers basic testing.
5. Testing
5.1. Line Negotiation
After uploading the configuration or powering up the router the following things should happen.
The Power and PC lights should be on; the PC light indicates that the router can see you network and will flash as data
goes up and down the LAN.
Initially the ADSL light will go out and then start to flash as it negotiates with the ADSL line. After the router has
connected to you ADSL line the ADSL light should be full on.
If the ADSL light does not come on or stays flickering all the time then there might be something wrong with the line.
After line synchronisation the ADSL light stays on and then the router verifies the user name and password. It is possible
to have a connection (Status light on) but no internet because of failure to logon.
If you now restart the ADSL Configuration software and click on Current Setting the Connection Status (on the
configuration screen) should show your upload and download speeds. If the configuration screen shows ADSL not
connected all the time then there is a fault.
5.2. Doing a Ping Test
Now drop into DOS (DON’T PANIC! Just
do start/run enter ‘command’ and then
click on OK) and at the ‘>’ command
prompt type ‘ping’ followed by the router
address (remember we set the address of
the router to 192.168.0.1 but if you’ve
changed this remember to use the new
address):
You should get a reply if not then you need
to check the IP addresses (client address,
gateway, DNS etc) used by your computer match the gateway.
5.2.1. Winipcfg
Winipcfg (or ipconfig) in Windows is a nice and useful
application which will tell you the IP settings being used by
your PC. Goto Start/Run and enter winipcfg:
