The name pretty much says it all. How can i check if my router is DHCP compatible and if it is, how to/is it enabled.

What kind of router do you have? You might be able to check if it is DHCP compatible on google.

Ok, Thanks!

If you are using a home broadband setup, you probably are.

If you can, go to start>run and type "cmd"
It should open a black command window (old dos stuff :twisted: )
in the window type, "ipconfig /all"

You'll get a lot of technical looking stuff on the screen. You should see something that says "DHCP enabled". If that says Yes then the your PC and your router is running DHCP.

As for config. Check the user manual, or if you don't have it check on the manufacturers web site for a downloadable one.

you should be able to access your router setting by the following in your browser address bar.

192.168.1.1

192.168.0.1

192.168.1.2

192.168.0.2

One of those should bring you to a username and password screen, usual default is admin, and password.

Then you can change settings of DHCP, and other stuff.

What cosmicnut said works aswell.

You can tell the exact address of the router by followig my method and putting the numbers from the "Default Gateway" into the address bar of internet explorer

Just takes some of the guess work out of the game.

True, that would be easier

Well yeah, mines a linksys wireless-b broadband router, 2.4 ghz. But how can i go to start>run and type cmd or whatever?

cosmicnut · 05-14-2007, 10:46 AM

You do that on a PC connected to the router. I'm assuming that you have a computer already connected to the internet through it

Kernel Kev · 05-14-2007, 12:23 PM

You dont need the router to be connected to the internet whilst on your PC, if your pc isnt near the router. I hope that made sense.

You can just plug it in to PC with ethernet but not Internet and the pc will access it with the addresses i gave above.
