Note: This documentation assumes you already know what an IP address is
Finding your IP Address in Windows 2000/XP
Using ipconfig
- Go to Start
- Click on Run
- Type cmd and hit enter
- Type ipconfig and hit enter
It will say something like
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.102 <-your IP address
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
But, that IP is a local ip. Meaning, that is the IP my router gave me, not the IP the world sees. This means that the address is only specific to me in my local network. You may wish to use another method to find your global ip address.
Find your IP Address in any Operating System
The easiest way is to go to a site such as IPChicken or WhatIsMyIp. This will, however, not work if you're behind a proxy.
