How do I find my subnet mask?

How do I find my Gateway (router) address?

How do I find my DNS (name server) address?

Do IPCONFIG on the command prompt and look for Default gateway number that is the router IP address..

In what circumstance, are you running a web server, or just trying to find out what DNS addresses you need for your computer/modem to connect to the internet?

If you are trying to setup your computer and don't know the subnet mask info, try using 255.255.255.0 - that is the most common subnetmask for most small networks.

Chuck, as you can see, you can find the current settings for your computer with the ipconfig command. If you are trying to setup a computer and don't have the settings on a working computer at the present time, you will need to contact your ISP or IT help desk to get the figures you need to connect to the network.

You'll get different answers depending on the reason. For example: Is it homework, Your curious, your setting up a home network for the first time and/or (understanding networking).

They all deal with the same issue and are all covered with the IPCONFIG command.
