Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DSL-2880AL. 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 (192.168.1.1 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
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.
