ProSAFE Single Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point WN203 When You Enter a URL or IP Address a Time-Out Error Occurs A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps: • Check whether other computers on the LAN work correctly. If they do, ensure that your computer's TCP/IP settings are correct. If you use a fixed (static) IP address, check the subnet mask, default gateway, DNS, and IP addresses of the wireless access point (see Configure the IP Settings on page 22). • If the computer is configured correctly but still not working, ensure that the wireless access point is connected and turned on. Access it and check its settings. If you cannot connect to the wireless access point, check the LAN and power connections. • If the wireless access point is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (for example, your cable modem) to make sure that it is working correctly. Troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility Most TCP/IP terminal 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 TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer. • Test the LAN Path to Your Wireless Access Point • Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device Test the LAN Path to Your Wireless Access Point You can ping the wireless access point from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your wireless access point is set up correctly. To ping the wireless access point from a computer running Windows 95 or later: 1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the wireless access point, as in this example: ping 192.168.0.100 3. Click the OK button. You should see a message like this one: Pinging with 32 bytes of data If the path is working, you see this message: Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx Troubleshooting 103
