Start-Run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. Then at the
resultant command prompt type "ipconfig" (again without the quotes).

If you want your *local* IP address on a network, running ipconfig /all in a
command prompt will give you this info. If you're behind a router/firewall
and need to know your *public* IP address, go to www.whatismyip.com .

Another method is to right-click on the icon for your network
connection, select Status and go to the Support tab.

You can also use this web site:
http://whatismyip.com

Note that if you are using a Router then the above web site will show
the i.p. address that the router is using to connect to the Internet
and not the local i.p. address that the router has assigned to your
PC.

Good luck
