How do you find default gateway and subnet mask?

Answer 1

On Windows systems:

Click Start > Run. Then type: cmd

The 'DOS' box will open, type: ipconfig /all

(Note: there is a SPACE after the word ipconfig) The information displayed will be similar to the below if you have a single address;

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx>ipconfig /all

On Mac or Linux/Unix systems:Launch the Terminal located in /Applications/Utilities/

Type the following command:

ifconfig

You will see most of the same info as the Windows example above. Your IP, subnet mask and gateway will all be clearly marked.

Start~Menu~ cmd prompt and type in 'ip/config all' or restart your PC and press f2 or f8 (depending) it will give you all your information

Sometimes on XP you can see your address when you log into a wireless connection

Answer 4

You can't get either the gateway address or the subnet mask, just by looking at the IP address. The default gateway is often the first or the last usable IP address in a subnet, but this doesn't need be so, and you still need to know the subnet mask for your particular network.

Answer 7

Go to the command prompt via Programs > Accessories

Type "ipconfig" (without quotations)

Answer 8

Find command prompt

Type CD C:\

Then type ipconfig

Answer 9

You cannot find the gateway address just by looking at the IP address and the subnet mask. You need to interrogate the system by using the appropriate TCP/IP utility.

Answer 10

You are able to find your gateway address by typing into the command prompt ipconfig. Your gateway address is also your routers IP address.
