Troubleshoot ADSLModem Connection InXP

How to Troubleshoot

ADSL Modem

Connection In XP If your

computer connects to a

DSL modem you may

have problems or

questions. I will instruct

you in the most

common ways to

troubleshoot your

network. Step 1 Here is

how to check for the

proper settings: 1. In

your command prompt

window, type ipconfig /

all . Be sure that your IP

address ( internet

provider address) and

DNS ( domain name

system ) information

are accurate with the

network card you have

installed on your

computer. Step 2 2. If

you are required to sign

on through your DSL

provider before you are

allowed to use the

internet than go ahead

and do that. You will be

using a kind of old

fashioned dial up

connection, except you

will be digitally

connected over the DSL

network. You will have

to set up a connection

using the ” Connect

using a broadband

connection that requires

a password and user

name “. Step 3 If this is

the case you have with

your situation and you

use a LAN (local area

network ) adapter to

connect to your DSL

modem, this LAN

adapter will have an IP

address that is going to

be used “ONLY” to

communicate or talk to

your DSL modem. Be

sure to check with your

ISP to be sure that your

computer to modem

connection is

configured correctly. If

it is not correct you will

not be able to connect

to your ISP. Step 4 Now,

be sure to use the

Connection icon to

connect to your ISP. You

can get to it quickly

using the start button

and then the connect to.

When the logon process

has been completed

ipconfig should show a

dial up connection with

a different IP address.

This address is your

real, public Internet

address for the duration

of the call. Step 5 If you

have two network cards

in your computer and

you are using a high

speed connection, make

certain you have

enabled sharing on the

correct connection. The

connection you want is

“shared” make sure it is

checked, for this is the

one that connects you

to your high speed DSL

or cable modem. The

network-side

connection is not the

shared connection and

should have an IP

address of 192.168.0.1.
