What's My IP Address?
We hear this question all the time, and here's how you find it (if you are connected to a network or internet).
There are at many ways to determine your IP address. Here are two of them:
- 1. If you see a double TV looking icon in your tray in the bottom-right of your screen, double click it. Then, click the support tab of the box that opens, then click the details button. This will give you ALL of your IP information.
- 2. If the first method does not work, go to Start>Run, and type in "cmd" When the black window opens, at the command prompt, type "ipconfig /all" ALL of your IP information will be displayed.
