Walk up to it, note the manufacturer name and model and google for a manual which almost always details the default IP address range. or 2.If it's a wireless one use kismet to discover the IP or 3. Go up to a working machine that's already on the network and look at the IP settings (ipconfig in windows, ifconfig/route in linux) or 4. If it's wired, plug a cable into the LAN and use wireshark to sniff traffic. or 5. Guess. It's almost certainly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1. (yes, it could be something different, note I said *almost* certainly) All of which probably contravenes rule 1 you set out.
