  2. Open the Command Prompt: Type cmd in the Run dialog box and click "OK." This will launch the Command Prompt window.

  3. Execute the ipconfig command: In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig and press the "Enter" key. This command displays your network configuration details.

  4. Locate the Default Gateway: Look for the line labeled "Default Gateway." The IP address listed next to it is your network gateway IP address.
