How do I find the IP address for my computer?

Answer 1

Assuming that you're a Windows XP user (you didn't tell us what operating system you're using), start a command prompt and type: ipconfig /all


This will display all the IP networking information about your computer.

Beware that if you have a router and you want to see your IP address as others see you on the internet, then you need to access the router and view the IP address there.

Good Luck

If you are on a Windows XP computer the way that most professionals do it is to use the command prompt. So you will need to do the following:

1. Click the start button then click on "Run."
2. Type "cmd" in the run prompt that appears and hit OK.
3. The Command Prompt appears. Type "ipconfig" and hit enter.

That will display your IP address. If you want to get more technical to get more information, use the command "ipconfig /all."

Answer 3

There are two types of IP addresses.
1. Local IP address: If you have a router, each PC connected to the router has an IP address. Ex: If the router is LINKSYS it starts with 192.168.15.100 to 192.168.15.199
2. IP address provided by your service provider. This IP address can be tracked at www.whatsmyip.com
