Even with JAWS 11 you have to use the jaws cursor to read the info otherwise you have to listen to it read everything which takes a while. Also for those using the JAWS cursor the default gateway you come to first, moving up from the bottom might not say anything but keep going up and there is a second entry higher up.

Hi, Especially if you are using a router with DHCP (Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol) with it, which in this case ipconfig would return the router's IP address, not the address of the actual modem. Also, in connection with JFW,you need 6.0 and higher to read cmd screen properly (others require JAWS cursor and/or virtualized window mode).

The default gateway may or may not be thesame address as the diagnostic address of your internet connection device. In my case, it is not and additional efforts are necessary to find this address. Your ISP most likely can tell you or an internet search on the type of device or the good old reference manual for the device may be necessary..

Go to Run, windows key plus r 2. type cmd and press enter to get to what used to be the DOS prompt. 3. Type cd\ (c d backslash) to get to the c prompt 4. Type ipconfig and press enter. 5. Among the information returned will be the default gateway, which is your IP address. I think you ignore the numbers following the last period. 6. To get back to windows, type exit.

You should hopefully land at the webpage about your DSL/cable modem/routerr. The upstream and downstream is the actual Internet connection speed (most likely the upstream speed, the speed at which your computer connects to the Internet).

There are times when I'd like to figure out how fast things are coming in or downloading from a couple of different places, including my home. If you guys know of a way, let me know.
