Network Settings
 NIC IP:  192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask:  255.255.255.0
Modem IP:  192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 

(modem may have shipped with either of the above IP's, you may need to try both when pinging).
It is not necessary to specify IP's in the TCP/IP settings unless you need to ping the NIC and/or router, or the user is receiving TAP errors. If you do specify the IP, you should use the above settings for this modem. Windows:
Enter these settings in the TCP/IP properties of the Ethernet Adapter connected to the DSL modem. The TCP/IP settings for both the NIC and the NTS PPPoE Adapter are normally set the same way we set up TCP/IP for the Dial-up Adapter:
  • Obtain an IP address automatically
  • Disable WINS resolution
  • Installed gateways is blank
  • Disable DNS
Mac:
Change TCP/IP from "Connect via Enternet" to "Connect via Ethernet" and change "Configure Using PPP Server" to "Configure Manually". Enter the appropriate IP and Subnet Mask, then close and save the changes. Run the OT Tool directly from the MindSpring CD. (located in the Other Software or Software Depot folder) In the lower right corner, enter the NIC or router's IP address and click on the "Ping" button. See Picture
