Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 68.239.158.45
The over output was made when I ran the Ipconfig command on my very own pc operating Window XP OS, and A DSL connection. The IP handle is my laptop address assigned by the ISP.
Please note, you can add an option to this command, in order to get a lot more thorough facts about your connection. Here is the output, when I ran the exact same command with the
"all" option.
Ipconfig /ALL
PPP adapter Copy :
Connection-precise DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 151.198..39
151.197..39
NetBIOS above TCP/IP. . . . . . . . : Disabled
Notice now, the output includes the phisycal handle of the network interface card set up in my laptop or computer. Also, you see the DNS IP addresses. With the over details, I didn't have any troubles.
Supposed ,I disconnect my DSL connection and ran the command once more, this is the new result:
Ethernet adapter Neighborhood Area Connection:
Connection-particular DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168..one
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Discover in this situation, in which I disconnected my connection, you do not get a DNS server. This tells you that I am not connected to the internet.
Also, discover the IP deal with begins with 192.168, which is the default handle every time your personal computer is not linked to the internet.
Yet another command is the ping command. It will let to verify if a computer is linked to the network and ready to communicate, whether intranet,
or net.
As soon as you run it,it will sent a packet to the laptop or computer specified and provides the time it took for the packet to travel. This is an a output when I tried to ping [http://www.yahoo.com:]
C:>ping [http://www.yahoo.com]
Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [216.109.118.66] with 32 bytes of information:
Reply from 216.109.118.66: bytes=32 time=35ms TTL=55

Ping statistics for 216.109.118.66:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = four, Lost = (% reduction),
Approximate round trip instances in milli-seconds:
Minimal = 35ms, Maximum = 39ms, Common = 38ms.
That shows that the host was reachable, and connected to the online.
A very crucial command is the Nslookup. This will allow you check if DNS (domain title server) is working effectively. The function of the DNS server is to translate ip addresses to domain name of the networked computer. Here is an illustration:
C:> nslookup [http://www.yahoo.com]
Server: home5.bellatlantic.net
Address: 151.198..39
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: [http://www.yahoo.akadns.net]
Addresses: 216.109.118.67
Aliases: [http://www.yahoo.com]
So, you enter the name immediately after Nslookup, it will give you IP addresses and vice versa.
In summary, there additional commands in Windows Xp, but working with the 3 above commands must give you a excellent notion about your web connection difficulties. Time Warner Cable - Is it Far better Than the Dish?
