If you are using a DHCP server to provide an IP address to the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router, you must
determine the address that was provided by the DHCP server. For assistance on getting the IP address from the DHCP
server, see the documentation for your server or contact your network administrator.
Make sure that the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router is properly installed and configured:
1. Make sure that the Power light on the front of the access point is lit.
2. Make sure that the LAN light on the front of the access point is lit. The LAN LED indicates a wired client connection.
3. Check the computer's network settings. Verify that the TCP/IP settings are correct.
1. Open a DOS command prompt window.
2. Type ipconfig and press <Enter>.
4. Compare the network portion of the address for the computer with that of the access point. The first three octets of the
address should be the same. For example, if the access point's IP address is the default, 192.168.2.1, the computer's
IP address should be in the range from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254; thus, it should appear as 192.168.2.xxx.
