Typically the subnet mask and default gateway are the same for all wired devices on a network. I would recommend wiring a computer or laptop up to your router and opening the command prompt and typing ';ipconfig/all';





This will give you full detail about the connection.





Typically your subnet mask will be something like 255.255.255.0


and a default gateway will be something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
If you are running this on your local network, and you are running windows, do this:





Click start, run, type in cmd and press enter.





At the command prompt, type ipconfig /all (press enter)





You'll find everything there.





If not, what type of network setup do you have? And what OS installed?
