D-Link DIR-68 User Manual

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-68. Read the following

descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows

®

XP. If you have a different operating

system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

1..Why.can’t.I.access.the.web-based.configuration.utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (19.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or

have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on

the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

• Netscape 8 or higher

• Mozilla 1.7.1 (5.0) or higher

• Opera 8.5 or higher

• Safari 1. or higher (with Java 1..1 or higher)

• Camino 0.8.4 or higher

• Firefox 1.5 or higher

• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different

cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on.

• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton

Personal Firewall, and Windows

®

XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your

firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
