How to find IP address.

 


To find your IP address, you can follow these steps based on your operating system: 

On Windows:

Using the Command Prompt:

·        Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.

·        Type "cmd" and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.

·        In the Command Prompt window, type the command `ipconfig` and press Enter.

·        Look for the "IPv4 Address" (or "IP Address") under your active network connection. This is your local IP address within your network.

On macOS:

Using System Preferences:

·        Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.

·        Select "System Preferences."

·        Click on "Network."

·        Select your active network connection on the left sidebar.

·        Your local IP address will be displayed on the right under "Status" as "Connected" and "Connected" under "Configure IPv4."

On Linux (Ubuntu):

Using the Terminal:

·        Open a terminal window.

·        Type the command `ifconfig` or `ip addr show` and press Enter.

·        Look for the network interface you're using (e.g., eth0 or wlan0), and find your local IP address listed under "inet."

On Android:

Using Wi-Fi Settings:

·        Open the "Settings" app.

·        Tap on "Network & internet" or a similar option.

·        Tap on "Wi-Fi."

·        Tap on the Wi-Fi network you're connected to.

·        Your local IP address will be listed under "IP address."

On iOS (iPhone or iPad):

Using Wi-Fi Settings:

·        Open the "Settings" app.

·        Tap on "Wi-Fi."

·        Tap on the Wi-Fi network you're connected to (the one with a checkmark).

·        Your local IP address will be displayed as "IP Address."

Please note that the IP address you find using these methods is your local IP address within your home or local network. If you want to find your public IP address, you can perform a web search for "What is my IP address," and the search engine will display your public IP address at the top of the search results. Your public IP address is the one that's visible to websites and services on the internet.
