I can't seem to find what this computers IP address is.
I'm on a home LAN and need to put that IP into my router so I can connect
faster to mIRC.

in XP you just opened 'Local Area Connection'

I can't seem to find a comparable display in Vista.

please and thank you.

Thank you
I need to make a shortcut for that. LOL

Click Start > Run, type CMD, and then press <Enter>. In the
resulting CLI (Command Line Interface) window, type "ipconfig /all"
(without the quotes), and then press <Enter>. When you've seen all you
need, type "exit" and press <Enter>.

That doesn't show my PC IP address. It shows my router IP address.

It does show the IP address of the PC!

If it shows something like 192.168.0.101
that is you PC's address, your router IP address would be 192.168.0.1

That behaviour is normal. It happens on XP as well. You have to open a
Command prompt first....

You are misunderstanding terminology. There is no such thing as "DOS"
in Vista, so what you're mistakenly calling a "Dos box" is, more
accurately, the "Command box." What you're calling a "command box" is,
in reality, the Run dialog box.

Sorry to be pedantic - there is no DOS in either XP or Vista. It's a Command
box.
