Troubleshooting 
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. 
Overview 
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Leve-
lOne Broadband VPN Gateway and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the 
suggested steps and the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway still does not function properly, 
contact your dealer for further advice. 
General Problems 
Problem 1: 
Can't connect to the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway to configure 
it. 
Solution 1: 
Check the following: 
• 
The LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway is properly installed, LAN 
connections are OK, and it is powered ON. 
• 
Ensure that your PC and the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway are on 
the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the 
case.)  
• 
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP 
client), restart it. 
• 
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP 
Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus com-
patible with the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway 's default IP 
Address of 192.168.0.1.  
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the 
LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway. 
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network
 to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.  
Internet Access 
Problem 1: 
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error. 
Solution 1: 
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting 
steps. 
• 
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings 
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network 
Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address. 
• 
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the 
LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway. Ensure that it is connected and 
ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, 
check the LAN and power connections.) 
• 
If the LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway is configured correctly,
