Cannot Load An Internet Web Page; Tcp/Ip Network Not Responding; Test The Lan Path To Your Wireless Modem Router - NETGEAR DGN1000 User Manual

Note: Unless you connect manually, the wireless modem router does not
authenticate with PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the
network.

Cannot Load an Internet Web Page

If your wireless modem router can obtain an IP address, but your browser cannot load any
Internet web pages:
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the wireless modem
router's configuration, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternately, you
can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your
operating system documentation.
• Your computer might not have the wireless modem router configured as its TCP/IP
wireless modem router.
If your computer obtains its information from the wireless modem router by DHCP, reboot
the computer, and verify the wireless modem router address.

TCP/IP Network Not Responding

Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a
TCP/IP network is responding to requests.

Test the LAN Path to Your Wireless Modem Router

You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
