IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are simply addresses the computers use to communicate with other computers using Internet Protocol Standards.  I don't know which server you use, but if you have AOL, on the e-mails you receive there is a item at the top which says "Sent from the internet-details".  If you click that it will show the IP address of the sender.  Hope this helps.

Sometimes we put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.

Step 1

First, this how-to is only for computers (laptops or desktops) with the windows operating system. Also, in order for this to be useful, your computer should be hooked up to the internet or network - either wirelessly or wired.


  • Step 2
    Next, press the "start" button, typically located in the lower-left corner of the screen.

  • Step 3
    Now, press "Run." This should bring up a dialog box with an area for text entry. Within this box, type "CMD" and press "Enter."

  • Step 4
    This will bring up the Command Prompt, which is typically a window with a blue or black background. The image attached shows something similar to what you will see. In this window, type in "ipconfig" and press "Enter"

  • Step 5
    This will provide you with a few results - one of which will be your IP address. Your IP address should be similar in the form to "123.456.7.89"

Your computer is assigned an IP address by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when it connects to the Internet. An IP address is an Internet Protocol address, a unique identifying number. It is what enables you to do things like sending a message in a chat program to another computer, and out of all the millions of computers in the world, it arrives at the correct one.
