How do I find my IP number to set up a pc 'phone?

Question

I want to communicate with my chum in Canada, and we are both going down the "Skype" type route.
Neither of us understand what is meant by IP number, and even more importantly - "How do I find out what mine is?"

Answer 1

Shannon is right go to the bottom of your screen and click on the internet icon on the right side of your screen. And a window will come up some time`s it will say detail`s and sometime`s it will say status. click on status or detail`s what ever one that you have. And it will show you a list. And at the bottom of that list you should see your server ip and your client ip. The client ip will be your`s and the server ip will be for your Isp.

I hope this can help you.

Hello,

Goto http://www.jbtwebhosting.com JBT Web Hosting Services and on the left side of the homepage you will see a Information box with your IP address in it.

Please note, that if you are using a router your computers IP may be different then your default gateway. Which is what JBT Web Hosting Services website will tell you.

In that case using Windows 9X or ME goto Start >Run and type winipcfg. In Windows 2000/XP goto to run and type cmd then ipconfig. Type exit then press enter when you are done.

Answer 4

IP means internet protocol. If you right click on the little internet icon on the bottom right hand of your screen (mine looks like two monitors) it will come up with some options chose 'status' then click on the 'support' tab it will show you all the details there.

Answer 6

which IP do you require?

an internal IP (the IP of your computer on the network)

or your external IP (IP of your internet connection)

on most home internet connections you'll have a dynamic IP, which is one that changes everytime you login (or every few hours anyway)

we have a static IP address, which is only because we are using a business broadband company (for home internet)

for your internal IP there's either 2 monitors in the system tray(ethernet/wlan pre SP2). right click and click status. then click on support. and it (should) tell you.

for wireless internet on SP2, (monitor with radio signal on right, right click and status, then click on support.
