Finding the IP of my wireless spot.

I have a problem with my wireless router.

First of all, it's completely unencrypted.

The handbook says that it should have a specific ip adress when I reset it, but it's not the ip adress specified. How do I find the correct ip?

If you are getting connected to it, via wire or wireless, then just check your default gateway on your machine. Chances are the IP will be either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Not many consumer level routers have default IP addresses in the 10 or 172.16 subnets.

Thanks for the quick reply. But I kinda already knew that, and it's not working! It's a linksys wireless router. It can not be connected to with wire.

You still haven't said whether you are connected to it or not.

I'm connected to the internet, but I still can not get access to my wireless access point setup through the suggested ip adresses.

I managed to set the encryption through Windows. But I had to use propriatary software.... (Cisco software)

I don't like this...!

lakersforce - bumping your own thread is not permitted. Bumping within less than 30 minutes is close to a banning offense, particularly when you have failed to provide the information requested by someone who is trying to help you.

Read the Forum Etiquette page in the wiki, for your own good.

Are you connected to the internet through that router? As I said before, if you are you should be able to just look at your default gateway. Failing that, look at your ip and run a ping sweep with nmap. Say your ip is 192.168.1.103, you'd do this:

nmap -sP 192.168.1.103/24

Chances are you'll be able to find your router with this command.
