Open Terminal and then type

PING TO ROUTER
Now you know the server has ip address. Try to ping to router. In the terminal, type ping followed by RouterIP address. Normally the router ip is 192.168.1.1 but this could vary depending on your router and network setting. Please get the router IP from your network technician.
ping PleaseWriteRouterIPHere
If you can see SENT and RECEVED signals, that means the server is connected to router. If it fails, the server is not properly connected to LAN. Please check the network cable untill you can ping Router.
Port forwarding
Please forward following ports
- 22
- 21
- 5666
- 8080 (this could vary depending on your emp port, you should ask Wavelet technician for more info)
