exactly it is showing default gateway that i have already checked up but it is not the thing that i want because my another application tries to get some information from the router but it says device not responding.....
Basically i have not much knowledge of networking..whats this serial interface and ethernet interface??
Bascially i am trying to configure MRTG on my network but i want to do this without the network admin people knowledge as they are from some other conmpany so i want to monitor the parameters on my own..

Ethernet and serial interfaces are the ports on the router where you connect it to a network or WAN link. On most routers, each of these ports will have it's own IP address. For the purpose of getting MRTG to work from your network, you should use the address of the default gateway. You have to configure a SNMP community string on the router to get it to talk to the MRTG monitoring PC.
Do you have control of the router is does the outside company do all the configuration on it?? What type of router is it?

Just read my previous comment and saw a typo. to clear up any confusion - last line should read:
Do you have control of the router or do the outside company do all the configuration on it?? What type of router is it?

i read ur message and thanks for the help...
the configuration etc is done by the outside company...
"You have to configure a SNMP community string on the router to get it to talk to the MRTG monitoring PC."
How to configure this community string onto router..i thgt that it shd be configured on a server only..bcos once we had a demo of such a tool and at that time nobosy configued anythg on the router..
ok lets suppose it is configured...

How to get this Ip address and how can i know if it is serial or ethernet address..

Compare the IP of the first hop of the tracert to the IP of the Default gateway of your ipconfig /all. It should be the same.
However, it is not to say that this will be the only router on your network that you go through to reach a destination address. That depends on the size and topology of your network...
Another point: Almost all the IP's from your tracert will be router IP addresses. Might just be the interface address. If your tracert packets hits the routers serial interface, it will respond with the IP address of the serial interface, not the ethernet interface.
