how do i determine the numbers or letters for the default gateway for wired and wireless??

The default gateway is the server on a local network that is used to access the internet from the local area network. if you are useing a dialup or DSL or Cable modem connection you must leave this empty. if you are on a LAN then ask you Sys Administrator.

sys admin? what u mean by this?

start>run>
type "ipconfig"

this will list all the settings of your connection, the default gateway is the same for all computers on the same router.

ok thanks guys, i understand what ur saying. thats why i come here, always learning new things, thanks again guys.

can someone please explain really simpley how to fix the default gateway cos i cant log on to windows live

if logging into windows live is your only internet problem, then the gateway isn't your problem.

1) Check your username/password
1) try logging in by the web first.
2) Check any firewalls, that may be blocking windows live
