a) It's not necessarily the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Sometimes it's 192.168.0.0/24, you have to check the documentation that came with the router, or look on the manufacturer's website.
b) The router address isn't necessarily .1, it could be .254 c) It should come with DHCP enabled and should assign the laptop a valid address when you plug in the ethernet cable, if you let it d) If all else fails, connect the network cable then fire up Wireshark. Look for arp packets and you'll find the router's IP address and network quickly. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
