How do I find out my IP in Windows XP?

[bullion416]

What run command do you use to find your IP in win xp?

 

[SinNisTeR]

start->run->cmd->ipconfig /all

windows only tells me my LAN ip 192.168.1.100

When i typed "ipconfig" into the run command, some dos box popped up for a brief second and disapeared. I also tried typing "ipconfig/all" and that didn't show me anything either. How can I get windows to tell me my actual IP number?

if you are behind a proxy or router then you can't, just go to that think i posted.

To see all the information first open a DOS window. Then type this:

ipconfig /all | more


Then all the information will come up on screen. After the first screen of info comes up it will pause. Press any key and the next screen full of info will come up in the DOS window.

Or you could just connect to your gateway and see what the IP is.

That's because you missed the first part, read it again:


<< start->run->cmd->ipconfig /all >>


"cmd" brings up the command prompt, and than at the command prompt do an ipconfig which will display the ipconfig.


<< windows only tells me my LAN ip 192.168.1.100 >>


that's the IP address that the Win XP box has on it's LAN interface, if you want to know the public address your machine connects to the internet via this website is an easy way to find out:

Okay, thanks for your help........that worked

You probably just didn't put a space between ipconfig and /all.

<< You probably just didn't put a space between ipconfig and /all. >>


actually there isnt any differance between "ipconfig /all" and ipconfig/all"

if you just do an ipconfig from the run prompt it brings up the command prompt and runs ipconfig than closes the command prompt (because the ipconfig program will have ended). so technically it does work when you just do an "ipconfig" from the "run" prompt, however the command prompt dissapears before you have time to read it.

Your're right it works either way, I never do it from start/run, just the command prompt.
