Hilmar:

Thank you for a quick education on the topic:)

>>The 3 pieces of information given by running the ipconfig command differs from those that are displayed in the routers Status windo are different. i.e., it shows a LAN (IP Addres, Subnetmask and DHCP server) and a WAN (IP Address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway and DNS). The IP Address and Deafulat Gateway numbers are differnt.
>
>The IP address is the unique address of a connection - or not so unique, in the case of private addresses.
>
>The subnet mask is used to interpret the IP address: what part of the IP address is considered the "network", and what part is assigned to individual hosts (connections) within the network.
>
>The default gateway will usually be the IP address of ANOTHER machine; it tells, where should Internet traffic be directed, by default. For your computer, this would be the router. For the router, this would be the ISP.
