Your ISP might require a login program.
Ask your ISP whether they require
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of
login.
If

Y
our ISP might check for your computer’s host name.
Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name in the Basic
Se
ttings screen.
Y
our ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet and might check
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:
- Inform yo
ur ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the
router’s MAC address.
- Config

If your router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any Web pages

our computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addre

two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s
configuration, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. You can also configure
your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system
documentation.

our computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP gateway.
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP

If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no

might need to go to Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the
Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection.
Troubleshoot a Network Using the Ping Utility
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to
the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily
troubleshoot a network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.
Test the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
