Which Gateway when on alternative gateway (BT)

[#1]

Will http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/
ever work when on the alternative ISP gateway to standard Plus Net address?

[#2]

I dont know the technical answer to that, but it just told me Unknown Gateway  (I am usealy on one of the London Docklands)

Dont know, none show

I mean run a tracert which will show you the gateway you are on.

Open a command prompt (vista - type cmd in the program search bar and hit enter, XP - open the run box and type cmd and then hit enter or click open) and then when this appears type 'tracert www.bbc.co.uk'; (without quotes). This will ping each step on the way to the BBC website, the first entry below your own router's IP address will be the gateway to which you are connected.
Hope that helps,

I was only running my antique machine (win 98) but before the answer disappeared I think it was ag1

[#10]

we need the full name not just the last part.
in Win98 run command to get a dos box then run the tracert command within it. You can then scroll up if it has gone off the screen.

lo1-plusnet. pc1-ag1.plus.net

I'm on lo0-plusnet.pcl-ag01.plus.net - that gives:

You are currently connected to the "City Lifeline, Juniper 8" gateway. This gateway is sometimes known as pcl-ag01.

Can you check if that is what you are on as I can see you typed it and there is a zero missing in the name you gave - that might explain the error.

Trouble was Jelv, this is the first time I had used tracert, I tried it on Win 98 and XP, but the output disapeared immediately it has completed the trace, I also had to do a reboot of the logger this morning so I might not be on the same server now. you could be correct that I missed a zero, I definitely did not have the Juniper part. I will now go and have another look.

[#14]

as I said, I might now be on a different server as the original error has disappeared

tried tracert again, but it went so quick I didnt see anything

Pierre, don't type tracert into the 'run' box.
Type cmd into the run box, the type the tracert syntax into the command prompt.
The results will stay on your screen then.
