Start from basics.

Post your details you get when you type "ipconfig" without the "" in the CMD window.

These are mine:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\First>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
 
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
        Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.5
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
C:\Documents and Settings\First>

192.168.0.1 is my router IP

192.168.0.5 is my computer LAN IP.

CMD Window

(Top left) CLICK / c:\ / SELECT EDIT / SELECT ALL / PRESS ENTER KEY-it will copy it all.

Not the words in brackets. That was because I don't know what your routers IP is as you have not posted the results of ipconfig.

ip address 192.168.1.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0

To ping your router do, Start, Run, type cmd then OK. Type ping 192.168.1.1 into the black window.

Now in CMD window type:

ping 192.168.1.1

And post results

(Top left) CLICK / c:\ / SELECT EDIT / SELECT ALL / PRESS ENTER KEY-it will copy it all.)

Then either in notepad or here select paste.

Thanx, visitor has gone now so I'll swap comps and check these things. Don't think I'll be able to copy and paste though as I have no left click on this mouse its broken, it was the right click but as that is used more I had to swap the mouse round to left hand so my left click is right click now. I'll just have to write it down

BritBrat

Top left was position, not left click.

But you do have to click it, left or right will do.
