Where is my IP address Windows 7?
I have a new PC, and my friend set it up for me.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, and I'm having trouble finding my IP address. I tried to Google it, but I can't find anything on the subject, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to find my IP address. Thank you.
Answers. If you know your router's IP address, you can find out what your IP address is by using the command ipconfig on a command prompt. If you don't know your router's IP address, you'll need to call your ISP and ask them what it is.
If you want to be able to assign an IP address to your computer, you should install DHCP on your router. This will assign a dynamic IP address automatically to the device that requests it. If you don't want to do this, or if you want to set an IP address manually, you should install a DHCP server on your computer.
All that said, don't forget that any device that's connected to a computer or network is assigned an IP address. Hi all. I have a brand new Dell Optiplex 740 and when I log into Windows 7, there is no icon on my desktop. However, when I go to control panel and click on network and sharing center, it shows up there. There is no icon on my desktop and I cannot figure out where it is located.
You can set a static IP address for your machine (by assigning it a fixed IP address). In order to do this, you need to download and install a program called "DHCP Server".
To do this, open your computer's Control Panel, and click on Network and Internet (it's called Network and Sharing Center in Win XP). Then, click on "Change adapter settings." and choose "Use the following IP address settings." (this will give you the chance to assign an IP address to your computer).
Once you've done that, your computer will be able to automatically get its IP address every time you turn it on. The IP address is associated with the Ethernet connection, not your computer. It's usually an IP address between your local area network (LAN) and the ISP's main router.
So the answer to your question is "Your IP address is between your LAN and the ISP's router.
How to config IP address in cmd?
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the firewall or something else.
I don't really understand what happens here.
I'm using command prompt. My home network is 192.168.0. When I try to ping 192.1, it can't go through and doesn't get back either. I know that the IP address of my router (192.1) is 192. However, when I type ipconfig, it shows my IP address as being 192. It shows my current IP address in cmd by typing ipconfig. But I can't ping to it.
The computer that I'm trying to ping is in the LAN 192. I'm using a Windows XP machine.
I am able to ping to my ISP's DNS address. (ie ).
I'm confused about why it can't ping to the 192.1, even though it has the same IP address.
I'm trying to run this command: ping -t 192. Any help? So it will not use DNS (the IP address resolution mechanism, aka ARP lookups), but instead will use the kernel implementation of packet time-to-live (TTL). You should use -l to set the TTL to 1 (0 means it will not timeout the connection). And you have some local DNS caching server (DHCP) that might be the issue. If you have DHCP disabled on the router, disable DNS caching on the client, or use a fixed-IP network to avoid caching issues.
