    Your router ip address I would have thought would be your default gateway. mine is 192.168.1.1 - which gets me into the router config.

    You log into the device that your linux box is connected to and look at its LAN address.

    Try typing 'route' in a terminal. Should give you what you need.

    Just an apology

    Sorry not have got back to you about this, as I decided to destroy my Linux distro. just after I wrote the entry. Why I did this is still a mystery to me!

    This needs to be done as root.

    Well, not on all systems. For example on my own box it shows routes for my normal user when I just give the command with absolute path:
    Code:
    /sbin/route
    And as an addition, the router can be read from Gateway column from the row where Destination is "default"
    Code:
    Destination   Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default       172.29.24.254   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

    You're quite right. If it type /sbin/route it works as me rather than route, sorry root
