I have a DSL line going into a router. When I run ifconfig, it gives me my IP relative to my router, but I don't know what my router IP address is.
Thanks

Rep:
Your router should have an administrative interface of some sort, usually it's a web page. It may also have a command line interface (CLI) often accessed via telnet, or ssh. My personal favorite is routers that have serial interfaces that you can setup a console program to access.
Oh, it should go without saying, but some times doesn't... You should check your router's documentation to figure out how to administer it.
It's funny, I was just in the interface yesterday messing around with port forwarding for VNC and I was looking right at the IP and didn't even see it
Thanks
