How do I unscrew up the routing table?

Bear in mind that there is *no router* involved in this setup. Well 10.50.0.1 *is* you default gateway, if that wasn't acting as a router you wouldn't have internet connectivity. Thanks for that observation, given there are only two devices on the network, which is the desktop computer, and the "modem" (which, in my case, is a transmitter-receiver known as a transceiver). http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/11/01/wifi_2.jpg Here's a picture of the temporary setup of the transceiver, which happens to be a Ubiquiti Rocket M2 which, for the price of a typical home router, is capable of putting out 24 decibels (dBm) of transmit power into a 24 decibel (dBi) antenna, which is 48 decibels of EIRP - which in this case connected me to an access point over 5 kilometers (over 3 miles) away. http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/11/01/wifi.jpg The hardest part of the temporary setup was stabilizing the radio because I didn't have the extension ladder handy to climb on the roof as I was actually at that neighbor's house (15 miles away by road) setting all this up on a wooden ladder. http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/11/01/wifi3.jpg Since it was only a temporary setup, I just hand bolted the "modem" to the stepladder top step and only roughly aimed the beam to pick up the Wi-Fi from three miles away: http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/11/01/wifi4.jpg This powershell command will show you all IP addresses to do with all interfaces and their status, paste it into a powershell window get-netIpAddress | format-table -property * Thanks for that additional command. For some reason, I'm an old fogie, where I started (long ago) on SunOS, and then Solaris, and VMS, and even PDP11 before that, etc., where I can't get into the "power shell" oddball syntax. I prefer something more akin to "normal" command-line syntax set of rules. Nonetheless I saved your suggestion in my archives, for future use! Thanks. My own script based on that command filters the list down to IPv4 addresses, excludes interfaces that windows won't make use of, and uses CIDR notation. It shouldn't mind being pasted into a powershell window with the line-breaks as they are below get-netIpAddress -addressState preferred -addressFamily ipv4 | format-table -property interfaceAlias, prefixOrigin, @{ label="ipAddress"; expression={ $_.ipAddress + "/" + $_.prefixLength} } You could save that as a handy .ps1 script, but to run it you'll need to jigger about with your powershell execution policy. https://blog.netspi.com/15-ways-to-bypass-the-powershell-execution-policy As I noted, PowerShell is sort of like reverse-polish-notation syntax to me, where I prefer the "normal" syntax of the command line. But just in case I need this, I've saved it for the future. Thanks. Also this web page is archived in the normal archives, so others should be able to find it in the future. |

C. 127.255.255.255.255 ? Is this half the Internet? No 1/256th, it is an address (ignoring the spurious 5th octet), not a mask. Ooops. You're right. It's not a netmask. Thanks. I think your commands are *great*! a. To show the relationship of IP to adapters: netsh int ip show route b. To reset the routing table to defaults: netsh.exe int ip reset Thanks! |
