Finding IP address on XP

[mike123]

Is there a different way of locating your IP address on XP?I know with other versions on windows you typed in "winipcfg",but with XP it doesn't work.

 

[thenewnoise]

go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig"

WTF is my IP.com

A fun alternative.

Thanks poontos.I did that and it worked.As far as "IPCONFIG",every time I typed that and a window opened up and disappeared quickly.Didn't see a thing.

Start -> Run -> Type: cmd

In the Command prompt window, type: ipconfig

I have done what you are describing before, so no worries, just a simple booboo. Plus, WeakSuperhero wasn`t too explicit in his instructions.

sorry! you could type "cmd /k ipconfig" in the run box and that would keep it there.

 

[Poontos]

Neat! I never knew about that! My, my, how we learn things.

 

[mike123]

I did that also.Thanks to both of you for your input.

you can click on network connections (from the control panel)- then click on your network adaptor. On the left should appear in the "details" section your ip address.

use the /all switch after ipconfig to get a little more detailed information

or just go to "Programs".. "Accessories".. and then open up the "Command Prompt"
and then do all sorts of neat commands and dont worry about the window closing on ya


like:

Netstat
Netstat -a

ipconfig
ipconfig /all

Netstat shows all protocols, connections, etc.. and their appropriate ports
Useful information at times

Command prompt and "ipconfig/all"

Oops!
If I am wanting ipconfig info frequently, I put a shortcut to command prompt on desktop. Also, if you minimize instead of closing, you can "maximize, up arrow, enter" and it will perform the last entered command.
