Could someone kindly tell me how I can obtain the IP address of a device connected directly via a standard ethernet cable to this computer. I need to communicate with a LinkSys wireless bridge in order to set it up. I know that the IP of this bridge is somewhere in the range 192.168.1.xx. However I do not know the full address. I have manually assigned a computer IP 192.168.1.10, with a default gateway 192.168.1.1. When I plug in the wireless bridge, an active connection is made between the two computers. BUT, I do not know what the IP of the bridge is. How can I find this out? I can't ping it because I don't have the IP.
Thanks very much.

Thanks for the information so far. Unfortunately I can't make it use DHCP at the moment, because in order to do this, I have to visit the configuration page by typing the routers IP address into a browser, which I can't do at the moment.
