What does the result from netstat -a mean Dave? I haven't got a clue.
Carl Miller:
Just want to make sure I'm not pinging my own wifi card, Inquiring minds want to know.

It shows what addresses are assigned to your system.
127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address, almost always there and isn't connected to a card
10.0.0.232 is assigned to your adapter (WiFi card) and is what you were pinging.
Your router likely has an address like 10.0.0.1 or more usually 192.168.0.1

Ok, but on my main system, windows 10, wifi connected it shows an ip address of 10.0.0.232 for the router, am I missing something here?
Dave Yeo:
Interesting, I've never had a router that uses the 10.0.0.0 address range and would have expected a lower address.
Could you have set the same address to your card while mucking around? Or misreading and the router gave 10.0.0.232 to your Win box?
Here, with the router using 192.168.0.1, I get
--- Code: ---H:\>netstat -a
addr 127.0.0.1 Interface 9 mask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.0.0.1
Multicast addrs:
224.0.0.1
addr 192.168.0.104 Interface 0 mask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
Multicast addrs:
224.0.0.1
--- End code ---
and often I get 192.168.0.103.
Try running netstat -a on your Winbox, might be a slightly different netstat so try netstat -? to see the choices. Here -a is for address.
