Internet Connectivity
Sometimes the Internet or Internet site is experiencing problems. 
Try pinging the DIRECWAY Web server (www.direcway.com) 
instead of the Web server or site you could not connect to.
Note:
The DIRECWAY Internet server may not be accessible or 
may not respond. In such a case, you should try to ping another 
Web server.
If pinging the DIRECWAY Web server succeeds, the problem is 
probably in the particular Web server that you were trying to 
access. Try accessing it later.
If pinging the DIRECWAY Web server does not succeed, try 
pinging the DNS server address 198.77.116.8. If you cannot ping 
that address, contact installer support. If you are a business 
customer contact your System Administrator.
If you can ping the DNS server address but not surf the Internet, 
check the DNS Server settings in your operating system TCP/IP 
settings. In Windows 2000, for example, the menu is accessed 
using the instructions below. Other Windows systems will have 
similar windows and menus.
1. Go to 
Programs
 Settings Control Panel Network and 
Dial-up Connections
2. Right-click on the
 Local Area Connection
 icon and select 
Properties
. The 
Local Area Connection Properties
 window 
appears. 
3. Select TCP/IP from the list of components and click 
Properties. The 
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
 
window appears.
4. Click 
Advanced
. The 
Advanced TCP/IP Settings
 window 
appears.
5. Click Add in the Default Gateways box. A TCP/IP Gateway 
Address screen appears.
6. Type 
198.77.116.8
 in the Gateway field and click Add. 
The address is added to the Default Gateways list.
7. Click OK to close all the windows.
8. Now try accessing or pinging the DIRECWAY Internet server 
or other Web servers again. You should be successful.
If these steps do not work, wait awhile and try them again. There 
may be a temporary Internet connection outage. 
If you still cannot surf the Internet and you are using a firewall, 
work through the firewall instructions below. Otherwise, please 
contact your service provider for further assistance.
