Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:

• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your workstation's IP settings are correct (IP Address,

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS). Restart the computer that is having a problem.

• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Router. Ensure that it is connected and

powered on. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power

connections.)

• If the Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/cable modem, etc.) to see if it is

working correctly. You can remove the Router to verify a direct connection.

• Manually configure the TCP/IP with a DNS address provided by your ISP.

• Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet

Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is

set to Never dial a connection. For Netscape Navigator, click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy.

Make sure that Netscape Navigator is set to Direct connection to the Internet.
