Need to know... IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS
Hi everyone
i'm installing a bradband wireless router and i need to know..
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS for my internet connection.
i know there's a way of bringing all this up unde the cmd prompt, but can't remember. can anyone help?!
Cheers,
Nell
p.s. i'm on win2k
ipconfig
ta mystery.
i'm still having problems if anyone can help...
i'm using blueyonder broadband, and i'm installing a Linksys Wireless-G modem, so i can connect multiple PC's to my cable connection.
Firstly, it says in the setup.. "If requested by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete the Host Name and Domain Name fields. Otherwise , leave them blank." - obviously i'm on cable connection, so i presume i must do this. how do i get the Host Name & Domain name ?
It says i then have to select what config i have out of "Auto, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP. i presume i am to use "Static IP" since i'm on cable and therefore have a static IP. Because i selected static IP, im prompted to enter the information i earlier requested. i get this from the cmd prompt...

That can't be right. Those are the IP's Windows gives when it can't find the proper ones.
you'd be wanting a dynamic IP for blueyonder (auto) 
feck.

according to my ISP, blueyonder i dont even need to enter any of the information, i should just leave the whole thing as automatic, still doesn't work though, so it must be something else. grrrrrr.
thanks for your help anyway guys!
absolute arseholes, just sorted the way they said not to do it. insted of doing the 'manual input' like it suggested, i just slapped in the auto-run CD which is meant for other types of connection and it worked. oh well, alls well that ends well!
might aswell ask while this thread is open, can anyone tell me how i find my real i.p. address since the above way doesnt work. thanks v.much!

does yours have web-based configuration? if so, go to that page (probably 192.168.1.1, or otherwise specified), and all the information you need should be on display.
danke!

ipconfig /all
This should tell you what your real IP address is
yeah, i was fecking around doing a Negear wired router, and turns out i just needed to hook it up in the correct sequence. didn't work, called tech supp., and it ended up working after i pressed the reset button.
try the reset button if you haven't yet. and install it in the correct sequence. turn off any and all firewalls, and you sholdn't mess with the ip settings and so forth. otherwise call support...

ipconfig or double click the little computers at the bottom of your computer.
