Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 11 66 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your Freecom Storage Gateway. After each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and solve the problem.
GB 11 67 Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface If you are unable to access your FSG’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local network, check the following: • Check the Ethernet connection between your PC and the FSG-3 using the ping utility as described in this chapter.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 11 68 Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your FSG-3 is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have an ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the WAN LED on the modem you were provided with your ADSL account.
GB 11 69 Troubleshooting PPPoE The PPPoE connection can be debugged as follows: 1. Access the Main Menu of the FSG-3 configuration at http://192.168.1.1. 2. Click on the configuration icon. 3. Under the log files section of the information menu, look at all the logs.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 11 70 Testing the LAN Path to Your Gateway You can ping the FSG-3 from your PC to verify that the LAN path to your FSG-3 is set up correctly. To ping the FSG-3 from a PC running Windows 98 SE or later: 1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.
GB 11 71 If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies: • Check that your PC has the IP address of your gateway listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 11 72 • Time is off by one hour Cause: The FSG-3 does not automatically sense Daylight Savings Time. Please change the time in the Hardware / Date&Time section. Persistent problems If problems still persist and you have read and tried all the answers in this manual, please try the website www.
GB 73 Appendix CE, FCC and other certification CE EN 55 022 Declaration of Conformance. This is to certify that the Freecom Storage Gateway is shielded against the generation of radio interference in accordance with the application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC, Article 4a.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 74 Certificate of the Manufacturer/Importer It is hereby certified that the Freecom Storage Gateway has been suppressed in accordance with the conditions set out in the BMPT-AmtsblVfg 243/1991 and Vfg 46/1992.
GB 75 Networks and Routing Basics This chapter provides an overview of IP networks, routing, and firewalls. This is by no means a complete overview! If you are looking for more information, you can use your favorite search engine to find information on the internet about the internet.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 76 Domain Name Server Since this computer address is not very easy to read, there is a second system on the internet called DNS (Domain Name System) which translates human read- able names such as "www.sharemydisk.
GB 77 Class E Class E addresses are for experimental use. For each unique value of the network portion of the address, the base address of the range (host address of all zeros) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 78 Subnet Addressing You can see that even with a Class C address, there are a large number of hosts per network. It would be a very inefficient use of the amount of IP addresses to supply every LAN with so many IP addresses.
GB 79 If your local network is not connected to the Internet (for example, when using NAT), you can assign any IP addresses to your computers without problems. But to prevent problems and ease configuration, the IANA has reserved the follow- ing three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks: 10.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 80 DHCP First, most users today have a dynamically given IP address or DHCP address from their provider. This means that the IP address given to you can change over time. This allows the provider to use the IP address for more then one person or device, since people are often online at different times.
GB 81 Network Address Translation When you visit a website via your computer, your router, or more specifically your NAT, remembers which computer on the internal network asked for the information.
Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway GB 82 MAC Addresses and Address Resolution Protocol An IP address alone cannot be used to deliver data from one LAN device to another. To send data between LAN devices, you must convert the IP address of the destination device to its media access control (MAC) address.
