How to Check your IP Address
Wouldn’t it be nice of just opening up a file and being able to ee your IP address, subnet mask and all that? Well you can do this now!
Step 1:
Click the start menu and open up “Run”, Vista users can just type “Run” into the search field.
Step 2:
Just simply type “cmd /k ipconfig“.
That’s it!
It will then open up command prompt and execute the ipconfig command.
You can also make this as a shortcut, or as a batch file. Just copy paste this into a text document and make its file extension a .bat and double click it. That will do the same as typing it into run!
I got this from: Quick Way To Check IP Addresses on Best Computer Solution.
