need help getting online

[Spoony]

Lo

I was wondering if anyway can give me an alternate way of getting my Ip address, subnet mask, default router, primary dns and secondary dns, I have to do it manually or else it times out. I cant do 'run' - 'cmd' - 'ipconfig' because this computer is so crap it just wont let me do it. Im on windows 98 btw.

cheers

Windows 95, 98, and Me
To check your computer's IP address or physical address, follow the steps below:

Click the Start button and select Run... .


Type winipcfg and click OK.


From the drop-down menu, select the adapter being used for your connection:


Select PPP Adapter if you're dialing in.

Select the Ethernet adapter if you're connected to a LAN or a broadband connection.

Select the wireless adapter if you're connected via wireless.
The IP address will appear in its labeled field. The MAC address will appear in a field labeled Adapter Address.

Alternatively, you may follow these steps:

Click the Start button and select Settings, then Control Panel.


Double-click Network. Select TCP/IP, then click Properties.
The IP address appears under the IP Address page tab.

Note: If you are using Dial-up Networking (i.e., PPP) or DHCP (campus housing at Indiana University Bloomington uses DHCP), the IP address is dynamically assigned by the terminal server, and Obtain an IP address automatically should be selected.
