Troubleshooting 4 The Modem Is Not Functional 1. Check to see that the POWER LED is green and the network cables are installed correctly. Refer to Chapter 2, Hardware Installation and PC Setup. 2. Make sure you are not connecting the USB and the Ethernet port to the same PC at the same time. 3. Check to see that the LAN and STATUS LEDs are green. 4. Check the settings on your PC. Refer to Configuring Your PC on page 2-3. 5. Check the modem's settings. 6.
4. Troubleshooting 4. Make sure NAT is enabled if you are using private addresses on the LAN ports. LEDs Blink in a Sequential Pattern This typically means that either the kernel or flash file system is corrupted. Notify your service representative. Status LED Continues to Blink This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot establish a valid connection. A possible cause of this is that you are too far away from the central office.
Terminology A What is a Firewall? A firewall is protection between the Internet and your local network. It acts as the firewall in your car does, protecting the interior of the car from the engine. Your car's firewall has very small opening that allow desired connections from the engine into the cabin (gas pedal connection, etc), but if something happens to your engine, you are protected. The firewall in the modem is very similar. Only the connections that you allow are passed through the firewall.
A. Terminology Your machine isn't really directly connected to the Internet, and it really has an internal local network address. When you provide the server's network address to others, you actually provide the address of the modem. The modem fakes the connection to your machine. You should use the DMZ when you want to run a server that others will access from the Internet. Internal programs and servers (like print servers) should not be connected to the DMZ.
