ran ipconfig/all and got this for the wireless side-

Connection-specific DNS Suffix- Belkin

Default Gateway 192.168.2.1
DHCP Server 192.168.2.1

next, when i saw that the IP wasn't 169.254.x.x., i went into a command prompt typed: ping -t, and it went on endlessly. looked to me like it was succeeding every few milliseconds, indefinitely, til i closed the window. then i pinged 4.2.2.1. with the same result, and went on to ping some web sites, including chicagotech.net, and google.com. same result. different IPs were coming up for each one, so i interpretted that as successful, but as these were my first 'ping' experiences, i may be completely wrong.
is there a way to 'save' all the info in a cmd prompt? lotta typing involved.
well, i don't know what this all means, but if is does to you, i'd be delighted to know. will try anything. thanx again for the attention, really appreciate it.
