Default gateway

[pow]

Hi,

Does anyone know the Default gateway to use to manual configure my TCP/IP. It's having problems picking up anything.

Thanks

The default gateway of a computer on your network would be your router as that is the way out of the network.

Hi Pow

Your router should have come with instructions on how to log in to the interface, eg http://192.168.0.1 will access a Netgear, and 192.168.1.254 will access a Speedtouch, iirc. That IP is your default gateway.

If you do a Start > Run > CMD <enter>, then in the 'DOS' window which opens, type ipconfig /all, you should get something like this:

ipconfig /all
