Physical Address: This is the “serial number” of your network card and will never change. IP Address: This is the address of your computer. Default Gateway: This is the address of your router. DNS Servers: These are the computers that interpret internet names into their correct numeric address (such as Yahoo.com=66.94.234.13). Their function is provided by your ISP or contained in your router. Lease Obtained / Expires: “Obtained” is when you last connected to your router. “Expires” is a period determined by your router settings and varies from an hour to weeks.

If it says “Media disconnected”, that means there’s no connection on the cable or no wireless network available. |
