How do you get your ip address?

To see your outside or public IP address, lookup on google " my ip" and it will tell you the bold numbers. That is the IP your network uses to talk with the outside world.

To see local IP;

Depends on the OS:

Windows 98: Start > Run > type WINIPCFG

Windows XP: Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Right Click > Properties > internet Protocol (IP/TCP) > Properties

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start > Run > Type 'cmd' > Press Enter> ipconfig/all > Press Enter

there is also a console command.

In Windows 2000 onwards, click Start --> Run --> CMD.exe

then type "ipconfig" and hit return.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linux, Ubuntu, etc

Open up a root terminal

Type 'ifconfig'

That will give you the networking stats of the computer.

You can just go on your network connections page and right click on the connection that you have and click status. There you will see your IP address.
