FocalpointNet™ Troubleshooting Guide, March 2002 5 Internet Service Providers This section includes: Types of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Internet connections tips Virtual Private Network support Checking your ISP connection Error messages and solutions Types of ISPs The following are two ISP types with examples of each. Galileo does not endorse any one provider, however Direct Internet Providers are preferred. Direct Internet Providers AT&T Earthlink Bell South Online Service Providers AOL CompuServe Prodigy Internet Connection Tips There are some routine checks you can perform if you encounter any difficulties with your Internet connection. Most solutions can be found in the Windows® help system or your ISP help system. FocalpointNet™ requires: A dedicated, direct (non-PBX) analog telephone line or a direct Internet connection (such as DSL, Cable or LAN). An installed and configured modem (if using a dial-up connection). A working dial-up or direct connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). To test your Internet access, visit the Galileo web site at http://www.galileo.com. Note: Galileo strongly recommends that every agency have a backup Internet connection to minimizes down time due to ISP outages. Agencies with DSL should also have a standalone modem and ISP access. FocalpointNet™ Troubleshooting Guide, March 2002 6 Virtual Private Network Support In selecting an ISP, verify that it can support the requirements of a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Select an ISP that offers support for: Point to Point Protocol (PPP) connectivity Virtual Private Network (VPN) support using IPSEC (Security protocol) A 14.4KBps or higher modem (A 56KBps V.90 modem is recommended) The technical specifications to confirm with the ISP are: Support for RFC-2407 IP addresses must be routable Protocol 17 (UDP) Source Port 500 Destination Port 500 for the ISAKMP/IPSEC Key management Protocol 50 (ESP) and Protocol 51 (AH) for the IPSEC tunnel encapsulation Checking Your ISP Connection This section gives procedures on how to check your ISP dial-up or direct Internet connection. Dial-up Connection To check the ISP dial-up connection: 1. View the icons on your PC’s taskbar on the lower right corner of your screen. The ISP connection icon should be visible. Note: If you are at a multi-user site, view the connection icon at the WinGate PC. 2. Take one of the following actions: If the connection icon: Is missing Is present Then: Reconnect to your ISP. Note: If you are at a multi-user site, do this on the WinGate proxy machine. 1. Right-click the icon and select Status. The Connected to… dialog box appears. 2. If the Connected to… dialog box shows: • A valid connection, see the section on “Apollo Host” for further troubleshooting hints. • An error, contact your ISP for further assistance. Continued on next page FocalpointNet™ Troubleshooting Guide, March 2002 7 Dial-up Connection (Cont.) The following is an example of a Connected to… dialog box showing a valid connection. Direct Internet Connection (DSL, Cable, LAN) Direct Internet Connections may or may not have a connection icon to check the connection status so the easiest way to verify connectivity is to actually browse to different sites on the Internet. You should be able to browse and “PING” the Galileo home page, www.galileo.com: From the DOS command prompt, type PING www.galileo.com and press Enter. If successful you receive four replies. If not successful you receive “timeout” messages and should call your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They verify physical connections (that NIC and Sync lights are green), IP address (whether you are obtaining an IP address), and network outages. They may also verify configuration information or have you boot or recycle equipment (such as a hub or cable modem). Error Messages and Solutions The following table lists error messages associated with the ISP. Error Message AOL version 7.0 Connectivity Error 650 Solution 1. Un-install AOL. 2. Remove all network adapters except for the dial-up adapter and the NIC cards. 3. Load and configure Extranet. 4. Reinstall AOL 7.0. 1. To verify that your Internet access is functioning properly, verify that you are able to browse to different Web sites. 2. If you cannot, contact your ISP. 1. Check for an incorrect username or password. 2. Verify server type options. 3. Verify that multiple users are not trying to dial in using the same Client ID and password. Continued on next page FocalpointNet™ Troubleshooting Guide, March 2002 8 Error Messages and Solutions (Cont.) Error 691 The computer you’re dialing into cannot establish a Dial-up connection. Failed to get DNS/WINS information Unable to resolve IP address You may receive this error message if a Dialup Networking dynamic-link library (.dll) file is damaged. 1. Reboot the PC (shutdown, restart). 2. In Add/Remove Programs, clear the check from Dial-up Networking. 3. Reboot the PC. 4. In Add/Remove Programs, check Dial-up Networking. Note: The Windows CD may be needed for this. 1. Verify that you have configured the DNS information provided by your ISP. 2. Check with your ISP to ensure that the provided IP address they provide is nonprivate and routable. 1. To verify your Internet access, visit the Galileo site at http://www.galileo.com 2. If you are not connected to the Internet, Hard boot the PC. 3. If this does not correct the problem, call your ISP. Secure VPN Connection With an ISP connection to the Internet, a VPN tunnel is created using either the Nortel Extranet client or Micorsoft PPTP VPN protocol. Galileo allows split tunneling in this configuration, which allows access to the Apollo reservation service and the Internet simultaneously. Note: Focalpoint allows for only one Network Address Translation. Attempts have been unsuccessful with connecting performing “double-NATing”. This section includes: Checking your Extranet connection Error messages and solutions Note: For ISP requirements on connecting to a VPN, see the “Virtual Private Network Support” section in the ISP section. Checking Your Extranet Connection When succesfully connected, the Extranet connection Icon appears in the system tray on the right side of the Windows Taskbar. To verify the connection status double-click the icon.
