49Networking Basics Checking the IP Address in Windows XPThis window will appear.Click the Support tabClick Close  Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000Note: Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router you will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static IP Address, please follow these instructions:  Go to StartDouble-click on Control Panel

51 Input your IP address and subnet mask. (The IP Addresses on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP Address of 192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP Addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.)Networking Basics Assigning a Static IP Addressin Windows XP/2000 Input your DNS server addresses.

55TroubleshootingThis Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DI-524 Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems.Note: If you have changed the default IP Address, make sure to ping the correct IP Ad-dress assigned to the DI-524.Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DI-524 Wireless Broadband Router. 1. The computer used to configure the DI-524 cannot access the Configuration menu. Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-524 is ON. If the LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted. Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see item 3 (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly) in this Troubleshooting section to check that the drivers are loaded properly. Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the DI-524. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual.Note: The IP Address of the DI-524 is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on the network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0 Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-524 is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1. A successful ping will show four replies.    
