Troubleshooting Tips Here are some tips for correcting common problems you may encounter. Be sure to restart your network in this sequence: 1. Turn off and unplug the modem, turn off the FVS318G, and shut down the computer. 2. Plug in and turn on the modem, wait two minutes. 3. Turn on the FVS318G and wait one minute. 4. Turn on the computer. Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. • The WAN port LED on the FVS318G will be on if the Ethernet cable to the FVS318G from the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and FVS318G are turned on. • For each powered on computer connected to the FVS318G with a securely plugged in Ethernet cable, the corresponding FVS318G LAN port LED will be on. Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct. • Ethernet cable and wirelessly connected computers should be configured to obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically via DHCP whenever possible. For help with this, see the Reference Manual. • Some cable modem ISPs require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered on the account. The FVS318G will automatically detect your MAC address. You can manually enter the MAC address by selecting Network Configuration > LAN Settings > LAN Groups and editing the address. Use the FVS318G status lights to verify correct operation. If the FVS318G Power light does not turn solid green within two minutes of turning the firewall on, or if the Test light does not go off, reset the firewall as described in the Reference Manual.
