If using a router at home, in the Command window, type ping followed by the Routers IP address and press Enter. For example type: ping 192.168.30.1. The routers IP address is most likely the default gateway. ! ! If you receive a reply (the first word will be Reply), then your computer is connected to the router. Proceed to Step 4. If you do NOT receive a reply, try from a different computer to verify that the first PC is not the cause of the problem.
In the Command window, type ping and your ISPs default gateway and press Enter. For example type: ping 192.168.30.1. ! If you receive a reply (It might look something like this: Reply from 216.109.125.72), then your connection to the Internet is alive and well. You can verify the ISPs IP by referring to documentation that came with your wireless access point/wireless router. If you do NOT receive a reply, try from a different computer to verify that the first PC is not the cause of the problem.

GLOSSARY
In a client/server architecture, a client is a computer that requests files or services such as file transfer, remote login, or printing from the server. On an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN, a client is any host that can communicate with the access point. Also called a CPE. A wireless client is also called a station. Also see server. Coaxial Cable A type of cable consisting of a center wire surrounded by insulation and a grounded shield of braided wire. The shield minimizes electrical and radio frequency interference. Coaxial cable has high bandwidth and can support transmission over long distances. CPE Customer Premise Equipment: typically computers, printers, etc, that are connected to the gateway at the subscriber location. CPE can be provided by the subscriber or the cable service provider. Also called a client. Crossover Cable A crossover cable is a cable that is used to interconnect two computers by "crossing over" (reversing) their respective pin contacts. A crossover cable is sometimes known as a null modem.

ESS An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs that form a single subnetwork. See also BSS.

Ethernet

The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The most common Ethernet networks are 10Base-T, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded, twisted-pair wire terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) provides speeds up to 100 Mbps. Base means baseband technology and T means twisted pair cable. Each Ethernet port has a physical address called the MAC address. Also see MAC address. Event A message generated by a device to inform an operator or the network management system that something has occurred.
Firewall A security software system that enforces an access control policy between the Internet and the LAN for protection. Firmware Code written onto read-only memory (ROM) or programmable read-only memory (PROM). Once firmware has been written onto the ROM or PROM, it is retained even when the device is turned off. Firmware is upgradeable. FTP File Transfer Protocol is a standard Internet protocol for exchanging files between computers. FTP is commonly used to download programs and other files to a computer from web pages on Internet servers.
Gateway A device that enables communication between networks using different protocols. See also router. GUI Graphical User Interface
Hexadecimal A base-sixteen numbering system that uses sixteen sequential numbers (0 to 9 and the letters A to F) as base units before adding a new position. On computers, hexadecimal is a convenient way to express binary numbers.
In IP, a host is any computer supporting end-user applications or services with full two-way network access. Each host has a unique host number that combined with the network number forms its IP address. Host also can mean: ! ! ! A computer running a web server that serves pages for one or more web sites belonging to organization(s) or individuals A company that provides this service In IBM environments, a mainframe computer
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol is a protocol used for error, problem, and informational messages sent between IP hosts and gateways. ICMP messages are processed by the IP software and are not usually apparent to the end-user. IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (http://www.ieee.org) is an organization that produces standards, technical papers, and symposiums for the electrical and electronic industries and is accredited by ANSI. 802.11b and 802.11g are examples of standards they have produced. Internet A worldwide collection of interconnected networks using TCP/IP. IP Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types of computers to communicate with one another and exchange data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single, seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual network. IP Address A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the destination IP address. For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address and the final 8 bits are the host address; in dotted-decimal format it appears network.network.network.host.

In a client/server architecture, a dedicated computer that supplies files or services such as file transfer, remote login, or printing to clients. Also see client. Service Provider A company providing Internet connection services to subscribers. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a standard Internet protocol for transferring e-mail. Static IP Address An IP address that is permanently assigned to a host. Normally, a static IP address must be assigned manually. The opposite of Dynamic IP Address. Station IEEE 802.11b term for wireless client. Subscriber A user who accesses television, data, or other services from a service provider. Subnet Mask A methodology that determines what the router will examine for the destination of an IP address. A router delivers packets using the network address. Switch On an Ethernet network, a switch filters frames based on the MAC address, in a manner similar to a bridge. A switch is more advanced because it can connect more than two segments.

TCP Transmission Control Protocol on OSI transport layer four, provides reliable transport over the network for data transmitted using IP (network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol defining rules and procedures for data exchange between hosts on top of connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track outstanding packets, checks error in incoming packets, and retransmits packets if requested.
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite provides standards and rules for data communication between networks on the Internet. It is the worldwide Internetworking standard and the basic communications protocol of the Internet. Tunnel To place packets inside other packets to send over a network. The protocol of the enclosing packet is understood by each endpoint, or tunnel interface, where the packet enters and exits the network. VPNs rely on tunneling to create a secure network. Tunneling requires the following protocol types: ! ! ! A carrier protocol, such as TCP, used by the network that the data travels over An encapsulating protocol, such as IPSec, L2F, L2TP, or PPTP, that is wrapped around the original data A passenger protocol, such as IP, for the original data
UDP User Datagram Protocol. A method used along with the IP to send data in the form of message units (datagram) between network devices over a LAN or WAN. Unicast A point-to-point data transmission sent from one sender to one receiver. This the normal way you access websites. See also multicast. UPnP Universal Plug and Play USB Universal Serial Bus is a computer interface for add-on devices such as printers, scanners, mice, modems, or keyboards. USB 1.1 supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps and plug-andplay installation. You can connect up to 127 devices to a single USB port.

GLOSSARY V

Voice over Internet Protocol is a method to exchange voice, fax, and other information over the Internet. Voice and fax have traditionally been carried over traditional telephone lines of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) using a dedicated circuit for each line. VoIP enables calls to travel as discrete data packets on shared lines. VoIP is an important part of the convergence of computers, telephones, and television into a single integrated information network. VPN A virtual private network is a private network that uses virtual connections (tunnels) routed over a public network (usually the Internet) to provide a secure and fast connection; usually to users working remotely at home or in small branch offices. A VPN connection provides security and performance similar to a dedicated link (for example, a leased line), but at much lower cost.

1 A Word About Data Rates: Data rate is the speed at which individual bits of data flow through a channel. It is not the same speed at which entire files are uploaded or downloaded. These speeds will vary, and are often less than the maximum data rate. Upload and download speeds are affected by several factors including, but not limited to: the capacity of and the services offered by your cable operator or broadband service provider, channel capacity, network traffic, computer equipment, type of server, number of connections to server, and availability of Internet router(s).
