Step 2 - Test your hardware connection to the Internet

Just boot with the WarLock media and see what it says

Once you have a bootable copy of WarLock in hand and hardware that meets, or exceeds, the hardware specifications, then perform the checks below

 To Start :

The system(s) you want to test must be connected to an Ethernet LAN which must have access to a broadband (cable, DSL, T1) connection to the Internet.

Optional :

You may elect to test the various hardware platforms from a single location if you are confident of broadband access and LAN availability at all of the other sites.

Test 2 :

With either the WarLock CD-ROM or USB key inserted, power cycle the hardware and wait for about 30 seconds.

Test 3 :

WarLock will guide you through step by step through the process. The only information you may need to provide is:

  • The default gateway for your network
    (for example 192.168.1.1)
  • An unused IP address for this system
    (for example 192.168.1.2)
  • The netmask for your network
    (for example 255.255.255.0)
  • Your primary DNS server
    (for example 54.122.11.73)

Then just press enter and wait for about 30 seconds

Test 4 :

The screen will tell you if your hardware is able to communicate with the Internet.

In the unlikely event that it does not report success:

  • try again after reviewing the instructions on the troubleshooting screen, or
  • try another piece of hardware

Once your hardware is connecting to the Internet, go to Step 3, schedule install.
