How do I find my subnet mask?

How do I find my Gateway (router) address?

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

ipconfig /all from the cmd prompt.

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?

Start > Run > type IPCONFIG /ALL

This will display ALL of the IP information including DNS addresses

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.

I've merged your two threads. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish here?

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).

Can you merge in the 3rd one? "How do I find my DNS (name server) address?"

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