To run ipconfig open a command prompt first - start, run cmd. Once the command window is open try ipconfig.

David, again many thanks but I have thrown up my hands and bought a netgear router FR114P with some bells and whistles. I now have daughters computer on the damd net at last. I am also online with XP but NOT with linux. Sheesh its a either or situation! The problem is with me not linux, however I did try using the mandrake gui connection and I could not manage to get it to connect. Hence I cannot call up ifconfig but there was no default gateway showing in ROUTE and only an ip of 192.168.0.0 on eth0. When I got back to windows it would not connect and I had to go through the setup proceedures once again. I presume that what I was fooling with stuffed the router settings. There are no visible settings that i can use from windows that i can use in linux. The ip of the router seems to be 192.168.0.1, used for http config. I have not ips for downstairs computer either. Can I asume the this one would be 192.168.0.2 and the downstairs 192.168.0.3, or is this impossible. How can i find out what is using what ip's. Use ipconfig you say but when i call it here a little black window flashes up and is gone in a flash. One day I will have both online but its still frustrating, but at least i have a daughter (monkey) off my back. Skippy in windows. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
