If you spend a lot of time on the Internet, chances are that at some point you will have to know your IP address. IP (or Interne
t Protocol) address is a unique signature of your computer.
IP comes as a set of four groups of numbers. The numbers could be single, double, or triple digits and they are separated by periods. To find your IP address:
In Vista:
- Go to “Control Panel”
- Find “Network and Sharing Center”
- Look through the columns and find “Connection.” To the right of it, written in blue letters, click on “View Status”
- Another window will appear. Click on “Details” button.
- The next window will show up. Your IP address will be in one of the columns.
In XP:
- Go to “Control Panel”
- Find “Network Connections”
- Look to your left. Scroll down if necessary. In Details section you will see information about Local Area Connection. Among this information, you will see your IP address.
