I'm typing this on my laptop. I've just set up my computer after it was off for a couple of weeks. I'm installed at a friend's house, so I don't know much about the local network except that it's 192.168.1.xxx being fed by a Netgear WNR1000.
I plugged all the stuff together for my desktop computer ... two monitors, power and data connected, monitor pilot lights blink. I've got a keyboard and a mouse connected, and the Ethernet cable is connected. Power to the box is connected. Speakers are connected and powered. When I turn power on to the computer, I hear it do all it's usual stuff, but nothing appears on the monitors. At this point I don't know what it's IP address is, so I can't try connecting from the laptop. Any ideas where I should look next? Is there a way, using my laptop, to find out what IP address the WNR1000 assigned to the desktop computer? The laptop is connected to the WNR1000 via WiFi. I've also got my wife's Win7 machine up and running on the same network. Clue stick appreciated. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
