Hi,

I am trying to get a school owned laptop to work at the teacher's home
on her wireless setup.

I have been to her home, and after about 45 minutes of trying to force
a release and renew of the ipconfig parameters, I noticed the gateway
IP was not changing to her home linksys setup, but still looking for
the school's 10.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway..

I attempted the "ipconfig /release and /renew" which did give me
0.0.0.0. and on renewing, gave me all correct numbers except the
gateway... the DHCP is assigning numbers okay, but the gateway info
will not change to the home setup.

I deleted all (both) network profiles and entered them again from
scratch, but the 10.xxx. gateway still appeared. I can find no way to
manually change that number in the wireless adapters console.

I did not attempt to manually set the tcp/ip using the windows
properties / tcp/ip properties tab as I'm using the Dell console
software to manage the adapter.

In the meantime, I've read a lot of stuff here about what seems to be
related issues, but can't find a definite answer that I have not
already tried, so am hoping someone has some other options I can go in
with on Friday.

thanks,
niteowl



Simple way to temporarily change the gw....

1) Open a command prompt.
2) Type: Route Delete 0.0.0.0 <press return>
3) Type: Route Add 0.0.0.0 Mask 0.0.0.0 (Enter New GW IP) <press return>

That's it. Note: Temporary. No configuration is saved. Just rebooting
will put everything back to the way it was before.
