ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance • Wrong network configuration - Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation. - Verify that the IP address for your UTM and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet. Test the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device. From the Windows Run dialog box, type: ping -n 10 in which is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP's DNS server. If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies: • Check that your PC has the IP address of your UTM listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your PC's Network Control Panel. • Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address that is specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device. • Check that the modem or router is connected and functioning. • If your ISP assigned a host name, system name, or account name to your PC, enter that name in the Account Name field on the WAN ISP Settings screen of the single WAN port models or on one of the WAN ISP Settings screens of the multiple WAN port models. You might also have to enter the assigned domain name or workgroup name in the Domain Name field, and you might have to enter additional information. For more information, see Manually Configure the Internet Connection on page 71. • Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you need to configure your UTM to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. You can do this in the Router's MAC Address section on the WAN Advanced Options screen of the single WAN port models or on one of the WAN Advanced Options screens of the multiple WAN port models. For more information, see Configure Advanced WAN Options on page 90. Troubleshooting and Using Online Support 497
