Default Ipconfig?

Just out of curiosity -

Why is it that the IP addresses I get from Ipconfig on my two machines
192.168.2 and 192.168.1.5, and not 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2?

default gateway, the router control interface and my network printer.

Place those IPs in your browser address bar to check.

Hmmm
192.168.1.1 is my login
192.168.1.2 gets no response, but should be my second machine
192.168.1.3 indeed is my network printer.

What's the rest of that address?

and 192.168.1.5


Perhaps you are using static IP addresses instead of relying on the DHCP
server in the router to dynamically assign them to your intranet hosts.

You never mention if there are other hosts obtaining IP addresses from
the DHCP server in your router.

and not 192.168.1.1


That's your router's own LAN-side IP address.

and 192.168.1.2?


Probably because your router's DHCP setup starts at a different low end
for the boundary of the range of IP addresses that it assigns. Only you
know how DHCP is configured in your router and only you know your
unidentified router.

Aw heck - I meant 192.168.1.2 of course.

.1 is normally in use as the router.
.2 would normally be the first available in the IP pool.
For whatever reason your router handed out .5. It may be that it has
lost track of the available slots and has no reason to reset the table.

On my router, the DHCP server has a starting address and a total
number of addresses. So I can set it to 192.168.32.54 and number
of addresses to 10, and it would hand out addresses from
192.168.32.54 thru 192.168.32.63 . It doesn't have to start at .2
if you don't want it to.

I was commenting on the OP's likely IPPOOL addresses and why his had
gaps.

Mine is set for a very narrow range low but all machines are configured
directly high to allow the firewalls to deny access to any that get DHCP
assignment. An additional roadblock to rogue wireless access.
