strange ipconfig output ?Hi:
I have an ipconfig output (provided to me by one of my users) which shows that the "IP Address" is the same as the "Default Gateway". Is this an error condition? The user is using Windows XP with SP2, and ipconfig shows that "IP Routing Enabled" = Yes Thanks in Advance! Polaris In article <ujZ#FVQ2GHA.3***@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl>, "Polaris"

dialup connection. This is a dialup connection. The default gateway is the dialup link, which uses the "received" IP address of the PPP connection. All no-local traffic will go across the dialup link to the remote access server. The LAN NIC on this machine is unplugged. It is using the dialup connection only.
