Ultima Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/awatch.htmlDoes this utility provide enough information to be used in setting up a static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yes and no.It has a bit of info about LAN ips, but seems to lack DNS info in the screenshot.It also lacks info on how fast your internet connection might be -- knowing only how fast its immediate interface is (such as 100mbit) to your router or modem.What are you having problems with about static ips?

Ultima Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hm...? Have you tried the utility itself, and not just the screenshot? I'm wondering because I'm writing a guide, and the static IP guides at portforward.com for the older operating systems still contain instructions that only work on Windows 2000/XP (using ipconfig). So I wanted to find a way to generalize the instructions a bit, and my hope was that the utility available for download on that page I linked to displayed enough information on Windows 98.

Determination Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ultima, try SIW (System Information for Windows). Reportedly, it works on 98+, and can definately provide you with a LAN IP. 1.3MB Multilanguage download, and no installation required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah, I already know about it (you linked it to me before ), but the utility I linked to reportedly works on Windows 98 as well. What I need to figure out is how much information is missing (the site says "You can also use this utility on Windows 98/ME, but under these operating systems, some of the adapter information may not be displayed properly"). This utility is a quicker download anyway. If the previous one doesn't have enough, I'll ask about yours, but in the mean time, I want to see about AdapterWatch. Now, if only Switeck came back to respond... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determination Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Well, I thought you ignored me, as people tend to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
