How can I tell what my network IP address is?

[Syringer]

I'm trying to make configurations in my router page, but I'm not sure what my IP is..

The windows tray icon as well as ipconfig says my IP is 192.168.1.100--but that's not it right? Is there another technique to figure it out?

192.168.x.x is your local IP assigned to the PC from your router.

When you do IPconfig, Default Gateway is usually the core IP of the Router.

Otherwise, look at the manual for the default IP and password, amd if it Not the default hard reset the Router.

P.S. whatsmyip.org tell you what the external ISP address is?

A home router will have two IP addresses: an external IP and an internal IP. As noted, the external (public) IP address can be found by going to the web page, http://whatsmyip.org .

The internal IP address (called the LAN address in the router control panels) will be a "private" address, often of the form 192.168.x.x. In turn, the router normally issues IP addresses to all the client PCs attached to its LAN side, also of the form 192.168.x.x . The IP address / subnet mask combination of the router and client IP addresses is designed so that the router and the client PCs are all on the same "subnet" and can talk to each other.

To determine the local network IP address of a client PC, you can issue the MSDOSPrompt command "IPCONFIG /ALL". You'll see the IP address and other parameters assigned to all of the network adapters on the PC.
