How do you find the gateway address and subnet mask?

Visit http://www.itsyourip.com to find your IP address. This is your IP on the internet.

Answer

Type ipconfig at a dos prompt, or do the following: "start, run, type in ipconfig".

Use any of the following switches or paramaters to broaden the information returned by the command.

USAGE:

ipconfig [/? | /all | /release [adapter] | /renew [adapter]

| /flushdns | /registerdns

| /showclassid adapter

| /setclassid adapter [classidtoset] ]

adapter Full name or pattern with '*' and '?' to 'match',

* matches any character, ? matches one character.

Options

/? Display this help message.

/all Display full configuration information.

/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter.

/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.

/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.

/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names

/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.

/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.

/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.

The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and

default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address

leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.

For SetClassID, if no class id is specified, then the classid is removed.

Examples:

> ipconfig ... Show information.

> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information

> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapaters

> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew adapters named EL....

> ipconfig /release *ELINK?21* ... release all matching adapters,

eg. ELINK-21, myELELINKi21adapter.

This will work on any Windows operating system.

Good luck.

Answer

my ip is 203.83.166.180 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 203.83.166.3 But it also works in 203.191.33.24 so there may be some other gateways where the speed is much higher

Answer

Are you trying to find the gateway and subnet settings you're currently using, or the the settings you're supposed to be using?

IPCONFIG /ALL, as others have suggested, will show you the settings that you're currently using.

If you need to know the settings you are supposed to be using, your best bet is to check with your network administrator.

Or if you the network administrator they usually will click start connect to , then they will click all connections, they will right click the local area network connection and click properties, and then they will click internet protocol TCP/IP and then they will click properties and its all there.
