what are the two addresses, say http://192.168.1.254 or http://192.168.1.1 - ending in 254 or 1 is often the gateway address of the router.

you should somewhere have a router address which sees the outside world which is http://www.ipchicken.com/

Then you should have your nic address and wifi addresses which if live can be seen Start > in the bottom white box that has 'search programs and files' paste 'cmd /k ipconfig /all' (leave out the ' marks) > scroll up and down and find all the IPv4 addresses

if you have had to switch connections say nic to wifi, then that too will show up on the router. I use my nic, but should I loose connection wifi takes over. Although I do not use my wifi when booting, the router still sees it

Swiches don't show as they operate at a different layer but don't press me to explain as I can't all I can say is that I have 3 switches in my network (including the one in the hub) and none of them show up.

I don't recall any router I've owned showing itself in its list of attached devices which is what I think the OP was looking at. It would of course show up in any ipconfig display though so if that is what was being looked at it explains the issue.

Sorry I badly mistyped the meaning and mean going from nic to wifi

So long as you've solved it.

The chances of having a secured WiFi hacked into are fairly low imo - not least because of the large number of unsecured WiFis out there...
