6 Basic Connection Checks TROUBLESHOOTING Check that the Router is connected to your computers and to the cable/DSL modem, and that all the equipment is powered on. Check that the LAN Status and Cable/DSL Status LEDs on the Router are illuminated, and that any corresponding LEDs on the cable/DSL modem and the NIC are also illuminated. Ensure that the computers have completed their start-up procedure and are ready for use.
92 CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING Ensure that you do not have a Web proxy enabled on your computer. Go to the Control Panel and click on Internet Options. Select the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button at the bottom. Make sure that the Proxy Server option is unchecked. If you cannot browse to the Router, use the winipcfg utility in Windows 95/98/ME to verify that your computer has received the correct address information from the Router.
Forgotten Password and Reset to Factory Defaults 93 For cable users, check whether your ISP requires a fixed Host Name. If so, enter the required Host Name in the Internet Settings screen. Ensure that your computers are not configured to use a Web proxy. On Windows computers, this can be found under Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections.
94 CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING Wireless Networking Ensure that you have an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter for each wireless computer, and that it is correctly installed and configured. Verify that each Wireless computer has either Windows 95 or higher or MAC OS 8.5 or higher. Verify that your wireless computers are configured to work in Infrastructure mode and not Ad Hoc mode. The Router contains an Access Point that is designed to operate in Infrastructure mode.
Power LED or Power Adapter OK LED Not Lit 95 Sources of interference: The 2.4Ghz ISM band is used for 802.11b and 802.11g. This is generally a licence free band for low power applications, and you may have other devices at your location that operate in this frequency band. You should take care to ensure that there are no devices like microwave ovens for example close to the Router or wireless computers as this could affect receiver sensitivity and reduce the performance of your network.
96 CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING and that the mains outlet is supplying power. If the mains socket is supplying power then the power adapter or power adapter connection may be faulty. See “Replacement Power Adapters” below. If the Power Adapter OK LED is lit but the Power LED is unlit then there may be a fault with your unit. Contact 3Com Technical Support. Check that you are using the correct power adapter for your Router. You should only use the power adapter supplied with your Router.
Alert LED Alert LED 97 The Alert LED will flash when the Router unit is first powered up while the system software checks the hardware for proper operation. Once the Router has started normal operation, the Alert LED will go out. If the Alert LED does not go out following start up, but illuminates continuously, this indicates that the software has detected a possible fault with the hardware. Remove power from the Router, wait 10 seconds and then re-apply power.
98 CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Router address: 192.168.1.1 3 Restart the computer, and re-apply power to the Router. 4 Using the Web browser on the computer, enter the following URL in the location bar: http://192.168.1.1.

B IP ADDRESSING The Internet Protocol Suite The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of communications protocols and several standard application protocols. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP and TCP) working together.
104 APPENDIX B: IP ADDRESSING For your network to work correctly, all devices on the network must have: The same sub-network address. The same subnet mask. The only value that will be different is the specific host device number. This value must always be unique. An example IP address is ‘192.168.100.8’. However, the size of the network determines the structure of this IP Address. In using the Router, you will probably only encounter two types of IP Address and subnet mask structures.
How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask? 105 Part two (‘.100.8’) identifies the device within the network. This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’. See Table 4 for an example about how a network (only four computers represented) and a Router might be configured. Table 4 IP Addressing and Subnet Masking How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask? Device IP Address Subnet Mask PC 1 192.168.100.8 255.255.0.0 PC 2 192.168.201.30 255.255.0.
106 APPENDIX B: IP ADDRESSING Auto-IP Addressing Network devices use automatic IP addressing if they are configured to acquire an address using DHCP but are unable to contact a DHCP server. Automatic IP addressing is a scheme where devices allocate themselves an IP address at random from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). If two devices allocate themselves the same address, the conflict is detected and one of the devices allocates itself a new address.
