Can't find address for wireless router

I have a Linksys wireless router, but I don't know how to find the IP address
to configure it. I've had it for a few years now and can't find the
documentation, but I changed the IP address from the standard one they always
use. How can I find what it is?

Re: Can't find address for wireless router

On XP, it is the Default Gateway as reported by ipconfig/all

Re: Can't find address for wireless router

I have Vista. Would that be the same?

Re: Can't find address for wireless router

Don't know. What happens when you execute the command?

Set up your PC to use a DHCP connection. Connect the PC to the router
directly, and only to the router. Reboot the router and then reboot the PC.

Then consider using a newsgroup better suited to answer a wifi router
connection. Like, oh say, alt.internet.wireless.

Or here's a better suggestion, search for factory reset and the linksys
router's model number. Force it back to factory defaults. And download
it's manual from the linksys website while you're at it.

Re: Can't find address for wireless router

Don't know? Why are you replying in a Vista group if you don't know the
answer to the question?
