Yeah, I saw ET's answer and considered a head-smack ;-) On the other hand, in THIS case, since Mike hard reset the device, the chances of its being something other than /24 (or some other 'reasonable' netmask) is extremely close to nonexistent ;-)
But, in general, if you want to know what your computer thinks, ET's way is right. (Of course, if we wanted to get pedantic, I just (a nanosecond before I hit 'send') realized that there IS a case where it might not be right - consider the case of more than one (active) Ethernet device, and the eth<x> which has your linksys on it isn't the one that is the default route... ok, that's WAY more than enough on THIS subject!!! :-)) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 12:26 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: internet problem Carruth, Rusty writes: > So, do ‘ifconfig’ on the PC to see what address it got (192.168.0.123 or > 192.168.1.2 or whatever), and change the last octet to 1 and you should have > your linksys IP address. Hopefully ;-) Which, BTW, this statement is mostly true for a /24 address, but no always. If you have a lower than /24 network, the possibilities also grow significantly. The 'ip route show|grep default' method is bullet proof. Truth to be told though, the chances the chances that Rusty method doesn't work in this case range from minimal to nonexistent... :) ET > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael > Havens > Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 11:41 AM > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Subject: Re: internet problem > > > > well it isn't really two routes. 1 is a modem router. > > > > > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > > On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Gilbert T.
