(no popups, nothing but ip)
Remember, if your computer is on a network it is also using other IPs. To see your local IPs on all adapters:
Open Command prompt (Start > Run... > cmd)
enter:
C:\> ipconfig /all

Your computers gateway to the internet requires a unique IP address in order to receive responses to the requests made by you. Most commonly being responses when you request to visit a website content is delivered back to your browser.
So if your computer is the only one in your home, with no need for multiple computers to access the internet your computer has the unique IP address.
This can be identified by running the MS DOS command 'ipconfig'.
Your adapter which accesses the internet is either the Ethernet Adapter (physical cable connection) or a Wireless Adapter presented in the Output of the 'ipconfig' command. The one that is used will display the unique IP address.
The output for IP address contains 4 separate octets for which each octet is separated by a period. A valid IP address must represent numbers less than 255 in each octet. Example for a unique IP address of google.com is 72.14.207.99.
More commonly than the single computer setup is a broadband setup where the unique IP address is located on an external device from your computer called a Cable or DSL Modem. This IP address continually stays connected to the Internet on this Modem. You must access the Modem to determine your unique IP by supply a local IP address which is preconfigured to be either 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.2.1. From this address into your browser and supply an ID and Password you can identify your unique IP address.

Go to Start > Run and then type in command and hit enter. When the new screen opens up type ipconfig and hit enter. You will then be able to see what the current IP address of your computer is. This is for a Windows computer, I don't know how to find it on a Mac computer.

If you are using Windows XP you can use the command prompt. Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt. Type in "ipconfig" - it will show you your IP Address.

an ip address is like your computer's personal ID. sort of like how each american has a SSN. to find your computer's ip, go to start, run, cmd, and then ipconfig (one word). it should tell you.
