How to find my computer's IP address?

If you're running a Windows machine, you may be able to find the private IP address of your computer by following one of the following two methods.

1. Using DOS command prompt.

Open a DOS command prompt by typing cmd in the Cortana Search Box, or Right-Mouse click on the Start menu and choose "Command Prompt".

C:> ipconfig

2. If you do not have access to the DOS command prompt, you may use Windows Network and Sharing Center Wizard.

On Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel, and then "View network status and tasks. On Windows 10, you may type "Network and Sharing Center" on the Cortana search box.

On a Mac or Linux machine, you may open a Terminal session and enter ifconfig command to find your private IP address.
