  1. Open a Command Prompt window (Link will open in a separate page)
  2. Type "IPCONFIG" (without the ")

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : aaa1.aa.aaaaa.net.

        IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .:192.168.3.200

        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :192.168.3.1

 

The 192.168.3.200 is the IP address (the IP address will be different on yours these numbers are for example only)

The default Gateway 192.168.3.1 (this number will not be the same as yours) is usually the router's IP address (you need this if you want to access the router for setup)
