Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring
an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade™,
use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully
connected to the Wireless Barricade™. The following example
shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS
window. First, execute the Ping command:

ping 192.168.2.1

If a message similar to the following appears:

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and the Wireless
Barricade™ has been successfully established.

If you get the following message,

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.
Check the following items in sequence:

1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between

the Wireless Barricade™ and the computer?

The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade™ and
the Link LED of the network card on your computer
must be on.

2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?

If the IP address of the Wireless Barricade™ is 192.168.2.1,
the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 -
192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.

If you can successfully Ping the Wireless Barricade™
you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
