how can you find the IP address your dial-up service hands you?

My dialup lets me keep my connection for long periods so I am thinking I can use the temp IP for server work.

In the windows folder, run "Winipcfg.exe" The program will give you all the info, Adapter address, IP address, DHCP, etc.

or just click run in the startmenu
and type in winipcfg
same program, its just easier for me this way...

That only works with 98 or lower. WIth 2k you need to type ipconfig in a command (DOS) window. It won't give you a ton of information but the basics.

Start>Run> and type "cmd" for the command window.

and if you are not running 2k then why not? Ahh, stability at last. You linux guru's know what I am talkin bout.

If you're running w2k, all you gotta do is click the connection in the taskbar, select the details tab and there's your IP at the bottom of the list.
