how do you ping one like the one in the "anyone know what these are?" thread

what you can do is connect the router to a network card, then turn on the router, wait till it completes it boot cycle.

turn on the computer attached to the router

in the dos window type ipconfig /all

read the line that says "default Gateway"

at the prompt type ping 192.168.xxx.xxx or whatever the default gateway numbers were.

if you get a successful ping it will tell you how many packets you send (usually 64)
and how many were returned (usually 64)

results of the ping: i ran ipconfig /all and it found the ethernet but no default gateway was found. also i tried running ipconfig without it plugged into the isdn. it would not end the command until i plugged it back into the isdn. i did get this thing while it was sealed in a plastic bag, it has a 9 pin male D plug marked console, perhaps it is new and needs to have a gateway assigned to it?

probably needs to be set up. you can plug the 9 pin connector into a com port and hyperterminal into it. Your instruction manual would tell you how. It was brand new ? and unopened ?

yes it was sealed in a clear bag the end of the bag was melt sealed like tv remotes and stuff are sealed. the router and a grey rj45 cable and the fat cable that plugs into the port marked serial were in the bag. i got 2 of them like this. i got them from a comp store that folded. there was no manual unfortunatly. the power supply was with it too in a different sealed bag.

pm me with a price on the unopened one
