Netgear 13300237 Manual Do Utilizador

easily troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer or 
workstation.

You can use ping to verify that the LAN path to your gateway is set up correctly.



From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.

In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the gateway, as in this 
example:

Click OK.

You should see a message like this one:

Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data

If the path is working, you see this message:

Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx

If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out

If the path is not working correctly, you could have one of the following problems:

Wrong physical connections.

Make sure that the LAN port LED is lit. If the LED is off, see 

44.

Check that the corresponding LEDs are on for your network interface card and for 

the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and gateway.

Wrong network configuration.

Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both 

installed and configured on your computer or workstation.

Verify that the IP address for your gateway and your workstation are correct and 

that the addresses are on the same subnet.

After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote 

device. From the Windows run menu, type:

ping -n 10 <IP address>

where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
