At the command prompt type in "ipconfig /all" and then look for the gateway address. That will be your router's address. (there are other ways to see that same information, I think this is the fastest one!)

Our XP shell was comprimised yesterday. Something which doesn't happen very often. The instantly noticeable effect it had was removing the network traffic status icon from the systray.

Fixed it last night.

Hubrid, I must clarify something, the gateway address that you will see is the address that windows will search for a router if that address is specified manually or the actual router's address that Windows found automatically if Windows is set to autodetect the address. Routers typically have a fixed address 192.168.0.1 (mine at home is actually 10.10.10.1) and you should look in the user manual for that address. Then you should be able to type in that address in the internet explorer and access the router's internal configuration.
In Windows you can specify a gateway address or you can let Windows automaticaly detect it.

(OK, this maybe is too much information than you wanted to know)

it's never too much, thanks

I know that typical number, on my mac it's clearly showed in the simple TCP/IP Controll Panel, and I was able to check the router's settings.
That's where I started my problem solving in XP, to check that number - and couldn't find it, the rest you know.

Thanks mate
