How to check your IP address?

Well checking the IP address assigned to you by your ISP is not a very big thing. There are many websites and portals available on the web which can tell your IP address. You can also check the IP address through Command Prompt in case if you are using windows. Methods for checking web address are listed below:

Via a web portal

  • Please visit this site http://who.is
  • After visiting this site, on the front page you will see a sentence running like this Your IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. This xxx thingy will be your IP address
  • If your ISP is providing you with static IP than this address will always remain constant but if your ISP is providing you a dynamic IP than this address will definitely change.

Via Command Prompt

  • Open Command Prompt in Windows by following All Programs –> Accessories –> Command Prompt
  • Open it and you will see a black screen.
  • Write in this black screen the following line ipconfig
  • After this you will get some data on the black screen. Locate in this data the following info IPv4 Address . . . . . . . . . . . .xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  • This xxx thingy again will be your IP address.
