I was trying to find out how to find the ip of me router at home but i don't know what it is, i can only find out the ip of the direct connection to the router because it's a wireless router, if anyone could help that would be nice.

Thanks,
Dubs

    Um..He's got dialup. His setup is host comp -> router -> comps. So wouldn't that just give him the ip of the device closest to the net (the host comp in his case)? Cuz when I do that, I know it gives me the IP of my modem, not my router...

    Open CMD

    tracert yahoo.com

    It will probably be the first stop.

    Are you wanting the routers inside your network or the modems that connects you to the net?

    tracert will show you every stop, the one you want is going to be in there

    It does not give me the IP that primes does? Never. It gives the INTERAL Ip of my router but not the external IP from the modem basicaly which is how to reach me from the net if everything is setup right? tracert shows 192.168.0.100 ehich is my routers internal IP to reach it but does not show the external IP

    If you want the external IP of your modem, then yes, use whatismyip.com. tracert does show the router's ip, and thanks for that nifty trick dosman!

    If your router supports SNMP you just need to walk the OID below

    ip.ipAddrTable.ipAddrEntry.ipAdEntAddr

    if you are talking about a router like a netgear, linksys, d-link type, it is normally the IP network you get your dhcp, and it should be your gateway. It is normally address 1 or 254

    isn't it just way easier to go to www.whatismyip.com?

    yeah it's easy if that was the ip i wanted but i don't want the computers ip i want to find the routers ip...

    That's the router's external IP... Your router's internal ip can be found by going to a command prompt and typing ipconfig /all ... Whatever your gateway is, that's your router's internal IP.

    But prime, doesn't that just return the ip of the first thing it encounters on the way in to your network? in that case, it doesn't give the router's external ip...

    Yea it is much easier, but for some reason I never do it that way. I just keep forgetting about whatsmyip.com.

    Also since this thread listed a ton of other ways to do it, I figured I would throw in my 2 cents. :thumbsup:

    Entropy:

    Whatismyip returns the router's external IP - the one that the internet "sees"
  • entropyentropy Yah-Der-Hey (Wisconsin)
    edited August 2004
    Yeah, but wouldn't the internet 'see' his host computer? Because the router is behind that...Idk, I just always assumed they had different ips...guess it doesn't matter, tracert is what he needed

    The router isn't behind the host computer --- the router is the first hop "outside" of the local network. The router has two interfaces - an internal (LAN) and external (WAN) - the WAN IP is what the ISP assigns you, and the LAN IP is what you assign (or the router default assigns). The router.... "routes" between the two disparate networks (the internet being one network and your local lan being the other).

    i may be thinking with the wrong half of my brain, prime, but i figured that since its a Dialup connection that you'd have one computer connecting to the internet using the phone cable and then serving as a passthrough to a cat5 network. eh? eh?

    in which case if hes looking for just the ROUTERS ip and not his EXTERNAL ip then whatismyip will return the wrong thing, and tracert will give the CORRECT thing

    if you are using dialup from a pc with a modem then using a router attached to it, the system will still install ICS which uses a bastardized version of DHCP, the odds are that the routers external ip address is 192.168.0.1 or 2

    Just browse the router and check the status page. You can get the browse ip for the router by just doing an ipconfig at the command line and browsing your gateway ip address. If you have never configured your router, default log in on most routers is admin with no password.
