Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Ping utility
You can use the ping utility to help determine whether a connection has been established
on a network or to determine a numerical IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) based on an
alphanumeric Internet or Web address such as mwgateuazcom.
Also, your router may have difficulty sending and receiving e-mail or connecting to the
lntemet if your ISP's mail and server addresses are configured with single words, such as
mail, home, or 170113. The router has no way to resolve these abbreviated addresses to the
actual IP and Web addresses required for connection. The ping utility can help you find
out the required addresses.
C To use the ping utility in obtain an i? address:
54
1 Turn on your computer, the router, and the DSL or cable modem.
2 Click start, then click Run. Type command in the Open box, then click OK.
3 At the command prompt, type ping followed by the single word or verbal address
you want resolved (for example ping mail), then press ENTER.
4 The ping utility returns the actual IP address of the mail server (in this case
64.8.50100} Write down this number.
This number works as the IP address of your ISP's e-mail server. Unfortunately, this
number may change at some point, so it may be necessary to further resolve the
number to determine the actual Web address of the server (which will not change}.
In the above example, note the line that states Pinging mail.adelphia.net
[64.8.50.100] with 32 bytes of data. In this case mailadelphiamet is the actual Web
address of the mail server and does not need to be resolved Write down this Web
address and use it to replace your ISP’s one word mail server address (in your Web
browser or e-mail program).
www.gateway.com
Setting a static IP address
However, it the ping utility returned only the IP address, you will need to determine
the Web address.
0 To resolve an lP address:
1 With the ping utility still active, type ping -a 64.8.50.100, (64.8.504100 is the IP
address returned from pinging mail), then press ENTER.
2 The ping utility returns several lines of information, including one that states Pinging
mailadelphianet [64.8.50.100] with 32 bytes of data. In this case
mail.ade1phia.net is the actual Web address of the mail server. Write down this Web
address and use it to replace your ISP's one word mail server address (in your Web
browser or e-mall program)
Setting a static IP address
Typically, the computers on your network are to obtain an IP address dynamically (using
the DHCP server function of the router) whenever they contact your local network.
However, in certain cases, such as DMZ hosfing or port forwarding, you are required to
assign a static IP address to a computer so that it’s address remains constant and it can
be contacted at the same address over time.
D To set a static lP address using Windows XP:
1 Click Start, then Control Panel. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click Network

way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have the encryption key
(ctfilgssociated with the encrypted data. Encryption is especially useful when you are
using a wireless network because it prevents outsiders from accessing datar Each computer
on a wireless network must use the same encryption code.
Ethernet - Ethernet is a common technology used to create computer networks. Wired
Ethernet uses cables to link computers, hubs, switches, and routersi Wireless Ethernet uses
radio waves to create links
firmware - Firmware is programming that is inserted into programmable read-only
memory (programmable ROM), thus becoming a permanent part of a computing device.
Firmware cannot be modified by a user, Updating firmware requires a special program
usually provided by the hardware manufacturer.
fragmentation - The process of breaking data into small segments for transmitting. When
the segments are received, the data is defragmented and returned to its original format.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - A simple method of transferring files from one computer
to another.
Gateway - A system that joins two networks together.
hardware - Physical equipment as opposed to software A router is a hardware device,
HTTP (Hyper’Text Transport Protocol) - A system that lets Web browsers and Web servers
communicate.
hub - A hardware device that ioins multiple computers to create a network.
IP address - A number that uniquely identifies a computer on the network
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) - A standard method for providing data confidentiality,
integrity, and the authentication between participating hosts.
ISP (Internet service provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. Most
lSPs also provide e-mail addresses.
LAN (local area network) - A LAN uses network hardware, such as network adapters, hubs,
cables, and wireless devices, to link multiple computers for sharing resources, such as files,
printers, and an Internet connection.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address - A unique number assigned to networking
hardware, such as routers, hubs, and network interface cards by the manufacturer.
Mbps (MegaBits Per Second) - Transfer speed of 1 million bits per second.
network - Two or more computers linked together for the purpose of sharing resources,
such as files, printers, or an Internet connection. Routers are often used to link the device,
especially if die network includes more than two computers.

packet - A unit of transmitted data. When a server sends information, such as email
messages and files, through the Internet, the server divides the information into packets
that contains identifying information called headers and footers. The system receiving the
information uses the headers and footers to reassemble the information.
passphrase - Similar to a password, a passphrase is a sequence of characters used by the
router to create encryption keys.
ping (Packet [Nternet Groper) - A network utility that determines if a remote device, such
as a server, can be reached on the network. For more information, see “Ping utility" on
page Sits
plug-and-play - If a device is a plug-and—play device, a computer can automatically detect
and configure the device and install the appropriate software called a device driver.
port - A computer program using TCP/Il’ sends information to another computer through
a port. Ports are assigned numbers that come after a standard IP address. Many programs
hide these port numbers to reduce the complexity of TCP/II’.
port forwarding — Port forwarding, unlike DMZ hosting, lets a single computer on your
LAN expose only one of its ports to the Internet. This type of port exposure has more
security than DMZ hosting.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) — A communications protocol that
combines the Ethernet and Point»to-Point Protocol (PPP) standards. PPPoE is sometimes
used with broadband modems,
PPTP (Point-to-I’oint Tunneling Protocol) - A protocol that lets a private network connect
securely to another private network through private tunnels over the public Internet. This
kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private network (VPN).
protocol — A set of communication rules. When two computers or networks use the same
protocol, they can communicate with each other.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) - A protocol used by a router to maintain routing
tables of configuration information to filter incoming and outgoing traffic based on the
IP addresses of the senders and receivers.
121-45 ~ RJ-45 jacks connect a computer to a router, In a wired network, one end of a network
cable is plugged into the RJ45 jack on a computer. The other end of the cable is plugged
into an RJ45 jack on a router. Data is passed to and from the computer and router through
the R145 jacks.
router - A hardware device that connects devices in a network A router can also provide
Internet access to the networked devices.
RTS (Request To Send) - A signal sent by a receiving device, like a router, that tells the
sending device to begin transmission.
server - A computer that provides shared network service to a network. For example, a
server can provide tile and printer sharing between networked computers.

Terms you should know
SSID (Service Set IDentjfier) - In a wireless network, the SSID identifies a network. All
computers in the network must use the same SSID.
static IP address - An IP address that is permanently assigned to a device.
static routing - The routing of network information through a single, set path
subnet mask - This number identifies what subnetwork the computer is located on. This
number is the same on all computers on a home network.
switch - Like a hub, a switch is a hardware device that links computers to create a network.
A switch provides better data routing than a hub.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A protocol used in connection with Internet
Protocol (IP) to let computers communicate over the [ntemett
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - A combination of two
protocols (TCP and IP) that lets computers communicate with Web servers.
UDP (User Datagrarn Protocol) - UDP is a simpler, taster protocol than TCP. UDP is used
with IP. Unlike TCP, UDP drops packets without retries and packets are received in a
different order than they were sent. UDP is often used in Videoconferencing applications
or games where speed is preferred over guaranteed message delivery.
upgrade - An addition or update to a program that provides additional features or fixes.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) - A standard method of specifying a Web location, for
example the URL for Gateway is www.gateway.com. Also called a Web address.
V'I’N (Virtual Private Network) - A private network link that lets a computer communicate
with another network over the Internet VPNs usually use encryption to provide secure
communication.
WAN (Wide Area Network) - A network that provides data communications to a large
number of independent users spread over a large geographic area. A WAN often links
several networks. The Internet is a WAN.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A protocol that adds security to wireless local area
networks (WLANs). WEP uses encryption to provide security.
