how do i find out what my computers i.p address is,,,apologies for such a daft question 'Scots, wha hae wi' wallace bled, Scots,wha Bruce has often led, Welcome to your glory bed,Or to Victorie!'

http://ipchicken.com/ Dell Dimension 4600i Windows XP Home v2002 SP2 Microsoft Office 2003 Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz 512MB DDR RAM 40GB HD ...If my computer's not happy, I'm not happy.

This will give you your public IP address, the one allocated by your ISP. However, if you are accessing the Internet through a router, your computers IP address will be different. You can find this by typing ipconfig from a Command Prompt. Stuart

Try at the command prompt typing...... ipconfig and press enter. Type exit and press enter to close the window.

ipconfig does not work but when i posted this message an i p address came up saying it was mine,,,chicken.com came up with the same one,,,ps what is a ROUTER? I AM NEW TO COMPUTING LOL 'Scots, wha hae wi' wallace bled, Scots,wha Bruce has often led, Welcome to your glory bed,Or to Victorie!'

See the router like the end of the power extention lead with multiple sockets, power in one end and say 4 appliancies connected. 1 Internet, multiple devices attached. Unless you have an arrangement with your ISP to have a static IP address then you will be allocated an IP address for that session. M

When you typed in ipconfig a black box came up and disappeared? You want to go Start and choose Run [under search]. Type in cmd and hit enter. This will give you a black box command window. Now type in ipconfig and it will show you your address.
