Diagnostic Tools

Find Network Path

Use the

Find Network Path

tool to show on which port,

LAN, WAN or DMZ where appropriate, an IP host is located.

This is helpful to determine if the Internet Firewall is

properly configured. For example, if the Internet Firewall

thinks

that a machine known to be on the Internet is

located on the LAN port, then there is a problem with the

configuration of the network or intranet settings.

Find

Network Path

also shows if the target node is behind a

router, and the Ethernet address of the target node or

router.

Find Network Path

also shows which router a node

is using, which can help isolate router configuration

problems.

Select

Find Network Path

from the

menu. A window similar to that in Figure 24
