how to find the IP address of your computer
IP address,Internet Protocol Address, is the address which identifies your computer on the Internet, and it's how information you request gets sent to you correctly, instead of ending up on someone else's computer. If you play online games with others and in some other circumstances, you'll need your IP address to create a direct connection between you and another Internet user. As your IP is usually dynamically assigned – that is, you get a different IP each time you connect to the Internet – how do you know what yours is?
It's easy to find out:
- Click Start -> Run.
- In the Run dialog box, type winipcfg and click OK.
A dialog box will be displayed, containing your IP address as well as other information.Your IP address is a number in the format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx , where x can vary from 0 to 255,according to the class of your IP address,there are three classes viz A,B,C.
