C. Make sure you are using the right WAN settings. Contact your ISP to see if your

WAN connection type is DHCP, Static IP Address, or PPPoE (commonly used by DSL

consumers). Please refer to the Setup section of “Section 6.2.2: WAN” for details

on WAN settings.

D. Make sure you have the right cable. Check to see if the WAN port has a solidly lit

Link LED.

E. Make sure the cable connecting from your cable or DSL modem is connected to the

Cortexa’s LAN 1 port. Verify that the Status page of the Cortexa’s Web-based

Utility shows a valid IP address from your ISP.

F. Turn off the computer, Cortexa, and cable/DSL modem. Wait 30 seconds, and then

turn on the Cortexa, cable/DSL modem, and computer. Check the Status tab of the

Cortexa’s Web-based Utility to see if you get an IP address.

A. Refer to “Problem #2, I want to test my Internet connection” to verify that your

computer is properly connected to the Cortexa.

B. Refer to “Appendix G: Finding the MAC Address and IP address for Your Ethernet

Adapter” to verify that your computer has an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway,

and DNS.

C. Set a static IP address on your system; refer to “Problem #1: I need to set a static

IP address.”

D. Refer to “Problem #6: I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up

window (for PPPoE users).”

I need to set up a server behind my Router

To use a server like a web, ftp, or mail server, you need to know the respective port

numbers they are using. For example, port 80 (HTTP) is used for web; port 21 (FTP) is used

for FTP, and port 25 (SMTP outgoing) and port 110 (POP3 incoming) are used for the

mail server. You can get more information by viewing the documentation provided with the

server you installed. Follow these steps to set up port forwarding through the Cortexa’s

Web-based Utility. We will be setting up web, ftp, and mail servers.
