>(2) Subnet: For home networks, this is almost always 255.255.255.0 (this
>means that all packets sent to IP addresses that do not share the first
>three numbers with those of your computer are sent through the gateway).
>(3) Gateway: This is the IP address of your router.  It may be 192.168.0.1,
>192.168.1.1, or similar.  Running "ipconfig /all" in a command prompt on one
>of the properly functioning computers will reveal it.
>(4) DNS servers: Get these by running "ipconfig /all" from one of the
>working computers.  Alternatively, connect to your router's configuration
>page and look at the DNS entries there.  You usually enter three; although,
>one is enough (unless that one is temporarily offline).
>
>Finally, make sure that you are using encryption with your wireless clients
>(WPA2/AES > WPA/TKIP > WEP) and change the default password on your router.
>If you do not do this, then anyone can connect to your network and also
