Hi guys, my boss asked me to check if I could find the number for our router.
We're going to change provider and he asked me to find it.
When I use: run/cmd, what do I need to type to find out the routerinformation such as it's number and such?
Greetings...
what do you mean by number?
IP address ? make ? model number?
PEN
Everything.
I allready know ipconfig but I need to get all the information which I can get. If I'm correct the router has it's own number from which it dials yes?
I did find this list through google: http://www.ss64.com/nt/ but I need to know the info from the router, not my computer.
Suggestions? Can I ping the router?
If you're after its internal IP address, it'll be most likely your default gateway on your own machine. Assuming you're translating addresses, then it's external IP can be found using http://www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com/)
It's probably got a web interface which you can access by opening its internal address in a browser, authentication permitting. Otherwise it may have telnet or serial management support.
Cheers for that BFC. Question, if I'd ping a site, it would go: my computer ---> router ---> etc...?
BTW, any of these commands I can use:

Does it have it's own telephonenumber aswell?
The router connects to the modem, which is prob. non-stop connected to your ISP, so it does not dial.
On your local network the router will have an ip-address, which will also be your gateway. Enter than IP into a web-browser and you should be able to access all the info. Might be a password though, if the administrator who set it up made one.
Try and do an ipconfig and find the gateway ip. Type that into the browser.
