A quick way to determine your router's IP address is "IPCONFIG /ALL"
(without the quotes) from within a command window. You should get Default
Gateway, DHCP Server and maybe even DNS Servers showing up as the same
address. This method works when there is only one router/WAP. If the WAP
is a different physical box than the router, then accessing the WAP is more
difficult.
I've found a few IP scanners that work nicely for determining active
addresses on your network. Going to downloads.com and searching for "ip
scanner"
(http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=srch&qt=ip+scanner&tg=dl-2001&
search.x=0&search.y=0) yields several results. I've used both Angry IP
Scanner and Advanced IP scanner with good success. These utilities are also
a quick way to see if your network has unauthorized accesses.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Wireless access point gone
Problem solved, with deep appreciation for Mr. Poffenberger's help!
If I may, I'm going to go into some detail here, as I think this forum is
one of the greatest computer learning resources available, and a lot of
education is in the details.
One reason I was locked up in this problem with no way to fix it was that
I
do not know the IP address of my WAP.
