■ Your ISP may check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to your ADSL Modem in the browser-based Setup Wizard. ■ Your ISP only allows one MAC address to connect to Internet, and may check for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use your ADSL Modem’s MAC address. PPPoE or PPPoA The PPPoE or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows: 1.
Testing your TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility Most TCP/IP terminal devices and ADSL Modems contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to a designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the ping utility in your computer. Testing the LAN Path to Your ADSL Modem You can ping the ADSL Modem from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your modem is working.
Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device. From the Windows run menu, type: PING -n 10 where is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server. If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed.
Appendix C - Glossary ADSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), as its name indicates, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with higher traffic rate downstream and lower traffic rate upstream. ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirements of applications which demand asymmetric traffic, such as web surfing, file downloads, and telecommuting. Bandwidth: The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time.
LAN: Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that spans a relatively small area. A system of LANs connected is called a wide area network (WAN). MAC Address: Media Access Control Address (MAC) is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows global IP Addresses to be translated into multiple private IP Addresses for use on internal LAN networks.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit indicates the network stack of any packet is larger than this value will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicates its MRU and will be accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer’s MRU. The default is value 1492. MSS: Maximum Segment Size is the largest size of data that TCP will send in a single IP packet.
