How to find your Own IP Address?

 

To find your own IP address, follow these steps:

  1. Using a Search Engine: Open a web browser and go to a search engine like Google. Type "What is my IP address" in the search bar and press Enter. The search results will display your public IP address.

 


  1. Using Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac/Linux):

a. For Windows:

    • Press the Windows key and "R" simultaneously to open the Run dialog.
    • Type "cmd" and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig" and press Enter.
    • Look for the "IPv4 Address" under your active network connection; this is your local IP address.

              b. For Mac and Linux:

    • Open the Terminal from your applications or search bar.
    • Type "ifconfig" and press Enter.
    • Look for the "inet" or "inet addr" field under your active network connection; this is your local IP address.

Remember that there are two types of IP addresses: the public IP address (assigned by your Internet Service Provider) and the local IP address (assigned to devices within your home network). The methods above will help you find your public IP address. If you're specifically looking for your local IP address within your home network, the second method will provide that information
