{RESOLVED} forgot my router ip ... how do i find it?

forgot my router ip ... how do i find it? I changed it from 192.168.1.1 but i cannot remember to what ... and i dont want to reset the router.

How can i find the router ip address?

I think typing ipconfig at the command line will tell you. Not sure if this gives your router ip or not.

tried ipconfig and ipconfig /all no help

Thanks for th reply tho!

Go to whatismyip.com and it will tell you the external ip. If you
dont have a router then it will tell you what your computer ip is
then.

sorry ... I should have given more information

I have an ADSL modem attached to my computer through a Linksys router.

visualAd: ipconfig gives me the computers local ip and the ADSL modem's ip ... but not the Linksys ip.

Thanks for the responses and any other ideas would be appreciated!

Well if you have never changed the IP address of your router then it will probably be something like 192.168.0.1. You could always loko at the manual, that will tell you.

Thats the problem ... I changed it because the default conflicts with my ADSL modem, but I cant remember to what ...

Type netstat -rn at the command prompt, to display the routing table. The route to your modem should be via your your router and its IP address may be there.

You can also try arp -a to display the cached arp table.

First thanks for all the help!

Strange things:

The IP I had changed it to did not work nor did it show up with ipconfig /all

I soft reset (cycled the power) on the router and now I can access the router and the IP address shows up in ipconfig /all

So it wasnt that my memory was faulty ... there seems to have been some sort of gliche that cycling the power cleared up.

Thanks Again!
