Troubleshooting the Alcatel Speed Touch Home Modem
 
Ping the manually assigned gateway IP address
 
Now open your command prompt or DOS prompt and run the ping command for the assigned static IP address.
 
Verify the customer has typed the command correctly then press enter key to execute.
 
The ping should reply 4 times from the 10.0.0.138 IP address.
This represents good communication from the PC through the NIC and into the ethernet port on the modem.
 
YES - If it replies either the modem or the DSL line is having problems seeing the Bellsouth network.  (replace modem if the line tests clean)
NO - If it times out here there is an issue within the PC or the cabling between the NIC and the modem. (troubleshoot for tcp/ip and NIC drivers ect.)
