LAN IP Address

I have a wireless modem/router with ip address 10.1.1.1. I have three pc's
connected in a wireless network. How do i find or set the ip addresses of the
other pc's.

are you using XP or Vista?

for either, you can open a cmd prompt (need an elevated command
prompt on vista)

then, type in

ipconfig /all [enter]

that should show you the IP's

are you looking to set up a static IP for the wireless connection?
hard to tell what your goal is here.

Sorry, I'm using XP pro. I found the ip addresses by looking at everything I
could find in the networking area. I'm a bit frustrated by being sent in
circles when I get the message saying Windows can't modify the network
connection. When I follow the instructions it never keeps the settings and
the next time I try to look at the wireless connection I get the same
message, but that's another problem.

Hi
You can download and run this free utility,
http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/
It is very useful in providing IP and shares all across the network.
Otherwise,

Yes thanks Barb. Now I just have to get around the "windows can't configure
this network" message. Also the router has created a wep key but the wireless
wizard creates a different key. This is all very confusing.

what router do you have? don't use WEP, it isn't safe. use WPA2 or
WPA at a minimum. also, do you have the manufacturers utility for
wireless cards configuring settings or are you using windows native
tools?

Thanks Barb,

Its a Belkin 4 port VOIP router that was set up by my ISP. Two PC's are
using Billion USB wireless adapters and the laptop has built in wireless.

I was trying to use windows to configure the lot. I'm not too concerned that
I can't get it fully operational. I really only need the main PC (XP Pro) and
the laptop (WMCE) networked. The third PC is running W98. The whole set up
was working perfectly 2 days ago and then suddenly went pear-shaped. The main
PC & Laptop are now networked, but the W98 machine can see the other two if I
use the "Find Computer" function but can't see them in the network.

I only used WEP as I thought it would be easier to set up, then when I had a
bit more knowledge I'd go to WPA. I'm in a semi-rural area and I can never
see any other wireless networks, so presumably no one can see mine, so I
wasn't too worried about only using WEP.

I haven't looked at the info the others who responded to my query have
suggested I read, so that'll be next on the agenda, even though its working
(sort of).

Cheers,
Ken.

just remember, that while you may live in a semi rural area, you
never know who is driving by in the middle of the night or any time
else.
