Steve said:Not enough info to answer your question definitively. Assuming that you
mean your Internet IP AND YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS THROUGH YOUR PC AND
NOT A NETWORK, then the advice you've also been given about typing IPCONFIG
/ALL at a command prompt works. If you access the Internet through a
LAN/router, then you will need to access your router to obtain your Internet
IP address.
Alan said:This is true, Steve.
I'm using a wireless connection, and if I use the IPCONFIG command, all that
I am given is the
IP of the router: 192.168.0.?.
When I do an ARIN /whois on that IP, I am told: "BLACKHOLE-2.IANA.ORG.
This block is reserved for special purposes. Please see RFC 1918 for
additional information."
The link that Shenan Stanley gave earlier: http://www.whatismyip.com/
works nicely. At least, when I do a /whois on the IP that is given, it does
show the correct ISP I am using. :>

IPCONFIG returns the workstation IP address if connected through LAN and
routers. We use it all the time at work. Perhaps you are referring to
some odd configuration but I've never seen it not reutrn an IP unless
the NIC is not functioning, whether on a home or business network.

NobodyMan said:No. Most home users connecting through a broadband router don't see
their public IP using IPCONFIG. What they see is their workstation IP
on the LAN side of the router. This usually is in the 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.1.255 range, as these addresses are non-routable and not
Internet addresses. IPCONFIG won't return the public IP address. The
only way to see the actual ISP assigned address in this case is to
logon to the router and check it's configuration.

To get a system IP address follow the following steps:
Go to start.
Select the run command.
Type as cmd. Command prompt will get opened.
Then type as ipconfig or ipconfig/all in that. It will displays your system's
IP
address.
