Well as the title says…
How do I find out what my IP Address is?
What operating system?
On windows, go to a dos prompt and type “ipconfig” (without the quotes, of course). If you want more detail (DNS servers and such) type “ipconfig /all”
http://www.whatismyip.com/ might help, depending on what exactly you’re looking for.
Wow - that was fast !!!
No question about it - the SDMB is THE website to get fast and accurate answers.
Thanks engineer_comp_geek and Berkut
This will give you the IP address that the world sees. Depending on your ISP, whether you’re on a network behind a NAT router or if you’re using a proxy server, this may not be the same as the true IP address of your computer.
As Berkut says, it depends on what you’re looking for and why you want to know.
and thanks Q.E.D.
Basically, my webhost wants to know my IP Address. Sometimes I can’t go to my own website (www.1728.com) unless I use the IP Address for my site (which they gave me).
So, now they want to know the IP Address of my computer.
In that case, Berkut’s link is just the ticket, since that will show you the IP address that 1728.com will see when you connect to it.
