CHAPTER 5 | Configuring the EZ Connect™ Wireless Cable Modem

Gateway

After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, use a web browser to configure the EZ

Connect™ Wireless Cable Modem Gateway. The Gateway can be configured by any Java-

supported browser including Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or

above. Using the web management interface, you can configure the Gateway features and view

its settings.

Before you attempt to log into the Gateway’s Web-based Administration, please verify the

following:

1. Your browser is configured properly. (see below)

2. Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.

3. Confirm that you have a [link] LED where your computer is plugged into the Gateway.

If you don’t have a [link] light, try another cable.

Browser Configuration

Confirm your browser is configured for a direct connection to the Internet using the Ethernet

cable that is installed in the computer. This is configured through the options/preference section

of your browser.

Disable Proxy Connection

You will also need to verify that the “HTTP Proxy” feature of your web browser is disabled. This

is so that your web browser will be able to view the web-based configuration pages. The

following steps are for Internet Explorer and for Netscape. Determine which browser you use and

follow the appropriate steps.

Internet Explorer (5.0 or above)

1. Open Internet Explorer. Click [Tools], and then select [Internet Options].

2. In the [Internet Options] window, click the [Connections] tab.

3. Click the [LAN Settings] button.

4. Clear all the check boxes and click [OK] to save these LAN settings changes.

5. Click [OK] again to close the [Internet Options] window.

NOTE: To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure that Internet Explorer

5.0 is configured as follows: Under the menu “Tools/Internet Options/General/Temporary

Internet Files/Settings,” the setting for “Check for newer versions of stored pages” should be

“Every visit to the page.”

Netscape (5.0 or above)

1. Open Netscape. Click [Edit], and then select [Preferences].

2. In the [Preferences] window, under [Category], double-click [Advanced], then select

the [Proxies] option.

3. Check [Direct connection to the Internet].

4. Click the [OK] button to save the changes.
