In the command prompt,what does an IP configuration do?

If your computer is plugged into the router, you can easily get the router's IP address by going to your command prompt and typing "ipconfig" without the quotes.

Command Prompt is under Start (or Orb if using Win7 or Vista) > All Programs > Accessories

After typing "Ipconfig" and hitting return, command prompt should display something like this:

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : blah.blah.comcast.net.
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.196
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter PdaNet Broadband Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected



The router's address is your "Default Gateway." You should be able to put that address into an Internet Explorer window and it will bring up the configuration interface.

To find out your IP address you need to access the command prompt. To do that, click on the start button, click on accessories and then click on command prompt. Then type in ipconfig and hit enter. That will give you your ip address.

Thanks for using FixYa!

Going inot the router configuration page and reserving your computer with a specific IP address would resolve this issue, If you have never gone into the router config page, it would be reccomended that you not do this, and have a computer savvy person with networking experiance do this for you.

another solution would be releasing and renewing your IP address in the command prompt on your computer

in command prompt, type : ipconfig /release ENTER then ipconfig /renew to renew your ip address, this can be done rather than resetting the router everytime

Hi.

To configure the router you must connect to the router using a cable.

Ensure that IP is 192.168.1.1 , and not 192.168.0.1 for example.

If you are using a computer to configure the router, turn off the firewall.

You can find out router IP opening the command prompt (type CMD in run box) and typing ipconfig/all in the Dos command prompt.
Router IP will be indicated as default gateway.

Hi, i know its been months already but i have a solution to your problem, we have same problem and i solved it already..First, you have to get the ip address of your printer,..Then, open command prompt..
At command prompt, Try this command;
telnet ip address (this is your ip address)
Then, as you can see, their is a lot of instructions there..
So, you must follow it..
Take note: It automatically saved the changes.

Second options:
Type the ip address of your printer at web browser, it looks like this:
http:/192.168.1.100/ (this must be your ip address)
Then, as you can see, there is a lot of choices there.
So, you have to choose the configuration to change your old ip address.

I hope it can help you..
Thanks

could you please put more detailed information please?

Try the following.

The Default Gateway is your router.
Try accessin http://<I.P. Router>:8080

If you can't access your router try pinging the device by starting command prompt and execute he following command:
