I have a Linksys Wireless Access Point that was setup long time ago and I
forgot the IP address it was set for. Is there any way to find the IP address? ( it must be 192.168.??.??) =?Utf-8?B?SGFsZXhp?= |

Are you connected to that AP? If so do you have DHCP enabled?
If you do you can just get the IP address by going to a command prompt and typing "ipconfig /all" and look at the default gateway "Halexi" <> wrote in message news:CB343859-616E-43E4-A20D-... >I have a Linksys Wireless Access Point that was setup long time ago and I > forgot the IP address it was set for.

Yes it is connected to my PC's local NIC. But the problem I have Ipconfig
will only show local NIC IP not the WAP IP since WAP unit is a separate node. I am trying to access the Setup utility built into the WAP and I dont think it has a DHCP server. Therefore I must set my local NIC to the same Network segment to access it. Without this information I have no way of accessing the built in Setup. I can set my local NIC Mask to 255.255.0.0 but then I have to try 255x255 ip combinations ! I used the Linksys Setup utility that came with it and It cannot detect the WAP !...

Try this link to the Angry IP Scanner program http://www.angryziber.com/ You don't need to install this program just run the exe file. You enter an IP range such as 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 and Angry IP will show ALL TCP/IP clients and their network names in that range. After scanning you can filter out the dead IPs and save it as a .txt report. |
