Classes of IP addresses

Class A address: class A addresses are used for very large networks, for example major international companies. The way to identify the class of an address is to look at the first octet, if it's from 0 to 126 then it's a class A address.

Class B address: class B addresses are normally used in medium sized networks for example a college campus, Ip addresses for this class begin with 128 to 191.

Class C address: Class C addresses are usually used for small to mid size businesses, IP addresses with the first octet from 192 to 223 are normally class C addresses.

please remember I'm not an expert lol I'm still studying, and when this was covered in the first semester I was busy playing pool in the canteen brother Abdul Qadir is much more knowledgeable alhamdulilah tabarak Allah, he would probably know the answer to your question.

Can I ask why you want to reset it? do you mean you want to change it to something else? I think you have to do that from the router settings page. try the below method but I don't think it will work if your on a wireless network. Do you mean you want to change the IP address that gets shown on the internet?

You can can reset your IP address by :

1. Opening the Windows Command Prompt located in Start -> Accessories or

Start -> Run -> Type in either "cmd" or "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)

2. Type in "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes)

3. After releasing the IP, typie in "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes)

then you will get assigned a new IP address by the DHCP I think, but u best wait till some 1 more knowledgable confirms that.

what dose cisco mean?:><:

Cisco Systems, Inc. is a multinational corporation with more than 66,000 employees and annual revenue of US$39 billion as of 2008. they make network equipment. The routers in Eastern Shores libraries are from Cisco.

They're like the Microsoft of the networking industry they offer qualifications that are recognised by employers, qualifications that teach you all about networking. And it's highly recognised.

You know how like everyone uses Windows for an operating system, well for networking many people use Cisco products.

ok so in other words you are a geek thats why u know all these things

[Salahudeen]

^ insha Allah I'm on my way to becoming 1 I don't know all these things if only I did , I'm looking them up, the point is to discuss it so that I reinforce it in my brain, kinda like a revision thread.

the best way to learn something is to discuss it, and my friends think this makes boring conversation so I can't discuss it with them

Yes, I've tried the above and failed. It actually messes up the system so i am not going to try it again./

How do you go about doing that?

[Salahudeen]

How do you go about doing that?

You know the settings where you specified a pasword for your wireless network? you access it by opening your web browser and typing a number a in the address box. mine is 192.168.1.1 if you don't know it there's a way to find it out. you go to start>run>cmd> ipconfig/all

then the number that's given for default gate way type that in the address bar of your browser. have you passworded your wireless network?

Why would you want to change your router IP address? I don't think its even possible on some routers
