Troubleshooting
Solution:
If the WAN light is blinking and the Connected light is solid, but you are unable to
access the Internet, there may be third-party firewall software installed on the computer
attempting to access the Internet. Examples of third-party firewall software are ZoneAlarm,
BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton Personal Firewall.
If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure that you
properly configure it. You can determine if the firewall software is preventing Internet access
by temporarily turning it off. If, while the firewall is disabled and Internet access works
properly, you will need to change the firewall settings to function properly when it is turned
on.
Refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your firewall software for instructions
on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access.
