[jaws-uk] Re: Wireless Internet

Hi,

Ok, what you need to do is to plug the router into the Ethernet plug on
your machine, then wait a minute, then at a dos prompt, run ghe
following command:

Ipconfig /all

You should see your IP address listed there and a default gateway.  The
default gateway is the address you need to go to, and you go to it by
using http://router.ip.address.  Usually, this is 192.168.1.1 or
10.1.1.2 (based on experience).  So, you would use http://192.168.1.1 to
get into the router configuration system.

Here is an output from my ipconfig /all command, my setup is a little
different though but here we go:

Windows IP Configuration

        Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : pc01
        Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : hodgsonfamily.org
        Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
        IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
        WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
        DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : hodgsonfamily.org

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : hodgsonfamily.org
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : VIA Networking Velocity
Family Giga-bit Ethernet Adapter
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-50-8D-6A-60-48
        Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
        Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 81.2.105.214
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.240
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 81.2.105.209
        DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 81.2.105.212
        DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 81.2.105.212
        Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 81.2.105.212
        Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 28 May 2006 11:48:11
        Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 05 June 2006 11:48:11


So, in my case, the ip address I would use is http://81.2.105.209, which
is my gatewy IP, which in my case happens to be the IP address of the
firewall.

Hope this helps,
Andrew.

Trouble is, no software CD came with the router and in order to access
the
web based user interface they talk about you need to be online and how
can
you get online until you've installed the thing!

Hi Barbara,
Basically you will need to put in your internet settings into the
router.
I'm afraid I don't know the model you have so can't talk you through
this
but there will be a method for you to access the configuration of the
router
either by the software you get with some of these units or via a web
interface.  Once you have done this it should be active.

The thing you need to remember is that with a router, the internet
service
providers information is stored on the router and not on the pc.
