Troubleshooting Your Connection

Cable Modem, DSL, and LAN Internet Connections

If you can’t connect to the Internet using your cable modem, DSL, or local area network

(LAN), see the following steps.

Important:

Instructions that refer to modems do not apply to LAN users. LAN users

may have hubs, switches, routers, or connection pods that cable and DSL modem users

do not. LAN users should contact their network administrator rather than an ISP.

Check the cables and power supplies

Make sure all modem cables are firmly plugged in, including the modem power cord,

the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the

wall jack. Check the cables and power supplies to Ethernet hubs and routers.

Turn the modem on and off and reset the modem hardware

Turn off your DSL or cable modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Some ISPs

recommend that you unplug the modem’s power cord. If your modem has a reset

button, you can press it either before or after you turn the power off and on.
