Hello Jim,


My DSL modem (Westell Wirespeed) does not have an IP address :-(

From a DOS prompt, type "ipconfig /all" and that will give you a clue
as to what the IP address is (should start with "192").

When I got my DSL package, I panicked when the (skimpy) manual didn't
show me what my router's IP address was - that's where passwords are
changed, etc. - then I did the ipconfig trick, and found it to be
192.168.100.101.

Well, now if that command only had a page mode. It blazes by on the DOS
screen and all you can see is the two last ones.

Anyhow, Westell has a FAQ and one is "Does my Westell modem have an IP
address?" ... "Nope."

Them of us who remember DOS know that you avoid the pages flying by
with...

ipconfig /all /p


I know. But with ipconfig this delivers:
"Error: Unrecognized command line argument "p"

:-(

Harumph! It sure works with other DOS commands.


So, how do you do a broadband speed test without the ISP's tool (which
gets blocked by my firewall because of virus suspicion or something)?

There are various sites you can go to, to test up/down speeds. I
haven't done it in awhile, so I can't pull a reference off the top of
my head.
