Can an IP address be saved as a favourite?
From time to time I have problems with my wireless and always forget the IP address. Can I save it as an icon or a favourite? I've tried but don't seem to get any joy. It's a Netgear router and PCMCIA card (I think).
Thankyou. |

Re: Can an IP address be saved as a favourite?
The IP address for your router is likely to be 127.0.0.XXX. If you run ipconfig in windows (start->run->ipconfig) then it'll show everything that's connected to your network.
However, you should be able to add an IP address as a favourite, as all servers are are ip addresses that are sort of underneath the web address. Failing that, try 127.0.0.1! |

Err, no it's not. Thats the local host address for your local machine ( a local machine for local people ) If it's never been changed it should be http://192.168.0.1 Right click on your desktop, new > shortcut. Type in the address (as above if it's correct) making sure you use the http:// Hey presto - shortcut created.

Re: Can an IP address be saved as a favourite?
The whole 127 address range is reserved for local machine use, a waste of IP space but anyway. You should be able to book mark it very easily.
Surely just typing the address in and adding a bookmark as usual should work... |

Re: Can an IP address be saved as a favourite?
You sure you are not mixing up IP for something else like WPA-PSK key?
Anyway if you did not know the IP for your router but are connected to the network, then you can run ipconfig and the 'Default Gateway' will be the ip for the router. As said before most routers will be one of the following 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.254, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.254, 10.0.0.254, 10.0.0.1, some routers such as speedtouch can be accessed typing in http://dsl.device etc.

Unless you have a dynamic IP.
I'll shutup now. |

Re: Can an IP address be saved as a favourite?
even if your ISP issues you a dynamic IP each time your router connects, or your own computer has a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP, the IP of the router itself is the same on your LAN, so you can set it as a favourite
