Also, if you have ever had to go to your router, you should know the address. Its what you type in your browser to reach it (ie http://192.168.1.1/) and, if not, you can find it with the following steps:
* <b><u>If Windows OS</u>:</b><br /><br />
** Click <b>Start</b> > <b>All Programs</b> > <b>Accessories</b> > <b>Command Prompt</b>.<br /><br />
** When Command Prompt is open, type the following command: <code>ipconfig</code><br /><br />
** You should see something like this:
C:\Users\Username>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
LAN adapter Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe88::7d0d:8844:62d7:3155%10
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.222
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
<br />
The bottom line is what you need. In this example, it is <b>192.168.1.1</b>.
<br /><br />
* <b><u>If Linux OS</u>:</b><br /><br />
** Depending on your Linux distrobution, it can be located in the menu items at the top, in this example, we will use Fedora. Click <b>Applications</b> > <b>System Tools</b> > <b>Terminal</b>.<br /><br />
** When terminal is open, type the following command: <code>ip route | grep default</code><br /><br />
** The output of this should look something like the following:
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 proto static
<br />
In this example, again, <b>192.168.1.1</b> is your default gateway IP address.
<br /><br />
* <b><u>If Mac OS</u>:</b><br /><br />
** In Mac OS you will need to open up terminal as well. Do do this, click <b>Finder</b> > <b>Applications</b> > <b>Utilities</b> > <b>Terminal.app</b>.<br /><br />
** When Terminal.app is open, type the following command: <code>ipconfig getpacket en1</code><br /><br />Where <b>en1</b> is the adapter you are connected to, the default for wire (ethernet) is <b>eth0</b>, in my case, im connected through wireless adapter, so the default on my MacBook is en1 (late 2008 model).<br /><br />
** This will output the following:
op = BOOTREPLY
htype = 1
flags = 0
hlen = 6
hops = 0
xid = xxxxxxxxx
secs = 0
ciaddr = 0.0.0.0
yiaddr = 192.168.1.x
siaddr = 0.0.0.0
giaddr = 0.0.0.0
chaddr = 0:00:0:0x:00:0x
sname =
file =
options:
Options count is 7
dhcp_message_type (uint8): ACK 0x5
server_identifier (ip): 192.168.1.1
lease_time (uint32): 0x15180
subnet_mask (ip): 255.255.255.0
router (ip_mult): {192.168.1.1}
domain_name_server (ip_mult): {192.168.1.1}
end (none):[/code]
In this output, the part that shows <code>router (ip_mult): {192.168.1.1}</code> where <b>192.168.1.1</b> is the router IP or gateway IP.
