getting IP address of router

[jim ruxton]

Thanks Ralph,
My router doesn't have a hostname. If I just do :
# traceroute -m 1 192.168.0.1 

I  just get:
traceroute to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1), 1 hops max, 38 byte packets
 
so it doesn't give it's internet IP address.
If I use garbage in place of 192.168.0.1 I get an unknown hostname
message.
