ip address in 98
How do i find the ip addreess in Win 98? If i am behind a wireless
firewall...(DLink 524) will the computers ip addresses change after it is shut down and rebooted? I want to allow access to my home network without using a range of ip addresses. Should the ip addresses for the seperate computers go into the router, or the indivdual computers firewalls?...thanks for the help...tom |

Winipcfg from Start run will give you the ip address.
I would set it up per the instructions that came with the router (or use the wizard). This means the router interfaces with the external network. The internal netwrok would have a range -- Jon Hildrum DTS MVP www.hildrum.com "Tom C.." wrote in message ... How do i find the ip addreess in Win 98?

If you shut down (power off) a router, all the machines will be reassigned new IP's in the order the machines are booted after the router is powered back up.

.. . What is the safest way to allow my computers to see each other? The way it is now i have a range of ip addresses in each firewall trusted area. You're best off using the range if you have no backup power supply and power issues are frequent. Any time the modem and router lose power they will resync once power is restored. Powering off a router sets it back to Default settings and new IP's will be reassigned to each machine in the order they are booted. If withing the trusted range you don't want one or two of the IP's to have access, split the range and place the unwanted IP/s in the Untrusted zone. If this means too many ranges just use single IP's. Only place the machines IP address that you want to allow access, into the machines firewall TZ that they will have access to. If you do not want a specific machine (1) to have access to a specific machine (2), then do not add specific (1) to the TZ of specific (2), add it to the untrusted or simply omit it from TZ of specific (2). If you choose to add it to the untrusted and if the IP's change at any time, you will have to change specific (1) in the UTZ to it's new assigned IP. Is that the best wqay or should i put ip adresses in the firewall ? Would my computers not change ip addresses after a reboot...thanks tom Rebooting a machine does not cause the router to reassign an IP, power loss/restore to the modem/router do. -- Brian A.

Typically, your machine will use the same ip each time. If a computer was
off line for a long time it may not. A reboot would not change the IP address -- Jon Hildrum DTS MVP www.hildrum.com "Tom C.." wrote in message .. .

... Is using a range safe from other intrusions on a wireless network? thanks tom Whether you use a range or single IP's, wired or wireless, a network is only as secure as one makes and maintains it. Keep all AV and Firewalls fully up to date and if you ever suspect compromise, isolate the machines from the net and investigate. Since this is a gen98 newsgroup you should be asking your questions in a more appropriate ng where you can get specific help. microsoft.public.win98.networking microsoft.public.windows.networking.firewall microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless -- Brian A.
