How To Retrieve The Local IP Address Of Your Computer

A computer connected to a network will have a unique identification number assigned to it, called the IP address. It is using this IP address that the different computers connected to a network communicate with each other.
Usually users don’t have to worry about this, as the DHCP of their local internet service provider does the job for them. But for people like system administrators, knowing the IP address is important. Read on to know how to retrieve the IP address of your computer using the instructions from the Windows Tech support team.

Instructions:
  • One simple method to access your IP address is by navigating to the Windows Command Prompt interface. To open Command Prompt, click the Start button, select All Programs and then click Accessories and finally, select Command Prompt option from the list.
  • An alternative method to open the Command Prompt window is by clicking the Start button and then typing CMD into the Search box field located at the bottom of the Start menu.
  • You will receive a black window with a prompt (C:\Users\username>) on your screen. Type ipconfig into the Command Prompt window and hit the Enter key, to run the command.
  • You will receive a long list of information on your Command Prompt window, out of which IP4 Address is your internal IP address that is used to communicate with your local network. The IP address of your computer is a numerical representation which looks similar to 192.168.1.100. 
  • So if you find it difficult to use the command line interface, you can switch to the Control Panel method. Open your Control Panel window, double click Network and Internet and select Network and Sharing Center and further click on the Change adapter settings link located at the top left corner of the window.
  • Select the type of network which is either Wireless Network Connection or Local Area Connection by double clicking on the link.
  • You will receive the Connection window on which you need to locate the Details button and then click on it.
  • The new window will list out the IP address information of your computer, out of which IP4 Address is your internal IP address that is used to communicate with your local network.
We hope you were able to locate your IP address using the above listed instructions. You can refer Windows Tech support forums for more tips and tricks.
