Diagnosing Network connectivity, use the following general
steps:

1.) Verify IP, DNS & Gateway with IPConfig
-No AutoConfiguration with 169.-.-.- IP Address
2.) Ping from your PC to the Access Device (192.168.x.x)
3.) Ping from your PC to the ISP's Gateway Address
4.) Ping from your PC to the ISP's DNS Server ( will be in
Routers Status page showing WAN Settings)
5.) Ping from your PC to a site that accepts ping traffic
(DSLReports.Com is a good site to use)
