Accessing my Access Point

[Darkshrimp]

well, I have a router and it is connected to a wireless access point, what i want to do is to access taht and secure it, but i rmb chaning the ip address of it and now i can't remember what is it, so i can't access the access point. Is there anyway i can find out what the ip address of that access point is so i can go into the control panel of it? thx :D

What is the make/model of the access point?

Also, "rmb" is not common nor is it clear that you meant to say remember.

If you go to your router you should be able to see what is connected to it and therir IP addresses. One of them should be the AP.

well, i have a D-Link DWL-G700AP accesspoint and Netcomm NB5 router.

sorry about the aberviatoin

and also, how do i check the ip address connectd to my router?
sorry, i'm no good with networking

Unfortuantely your AP doesn't have a discovery/mangement tool. So as z!p said, go into your router and on the LAN status page find the clients section and look for an issued IP address that has no name (or just try all of them).

i tried that and i found two ip addresses, on of my laptop [on wireless] and one of my desktop >< don't see antyhing for AP

btw, i tried to go to both of them ip addresses, and they are both not accessable

I'm not big on download all kinds of software, but give the trial version of this (http://www.networkmagic.com/) a try. (Actually, the trial version gives you 30 days of the full version) It may be able to discover you AP for you.

actually, if you just want an ip scanner...

foundstone superscan (http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/superscan4.htm) works pretty well for IP discovery
