Finding Your Ip Address on Windows and Mac

00:00:00 Greg Doig: welcome back to the podcast edition of Tech Tip with WVBI. I'm Greg Doig, your host. Today we're going to talk about finding your IP address on Windows computers and on a Mac computer. And if you're ready, let's go.

00:00:13 Unknown: And whether you're troubleshooting network issues or setting up a new device, knowing your IP address is super helpful. So let's start off with Windows. There are two simple methods to find it. For the first method, head to your start menu and type Network Connections. Then click on View Network Connections. Then right-click on your active connection. That should be either Wi-Fi or Ethernet, depending on how your computer is connected at the time. Select status and click on details. Then look for IPv4 address. Those numbers are your local IP address. And if you prefer using commands, here's an even quicker method. Press the Windows key, type CMD, and hit Enter. When the black command prompt window appears you're gonna type the following. I-P-C-O-N-F-I-G, a space, Forward slash all and then press enter. Scan through the information until you find IPv4 address under your active connection. Remember this shows your private IP address, that's the one your router assigns to your device. If you need to know your public IP address, the one websites see when you're online, You can open up your browser window and visit this website. It's whatismyip.com. That's w-h-a-t-i-s-m-y-i-p.com. And that's how you find your IP address on a Windows computer. This tip is for you Apple Mac users out there on finding your IP address on a Mac. Finding your IP address on a Mac is straightforward. First method is click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen Select system settings or system preferences if you're using an older Mac OS version. Then click on network, then select your active connection. Click details next to your connected network and voila, your IP address will be right there. And for those who love the terminal, here's a faster method. Open terminal from your applications folder under utilities or via spotlight if you choose. And if you're on Wi-Fi, type the following command. I-P-C-O-N-F-I-G then put a space. Then it's G-E-T-I-F-A-D-D-R, then a space, E-N-0, and press return. If you're using a wired connection, type the following command, ipconfig, put a space, G-E-T-I-F-A-D-D-R, a space, E-N-1. Your IP address will appear immediately after you hit enter. No scrolling or searching required. Keep in mind these methods show your private IP address. For your public IP address, you can open any browser and you can go to the website Whatismyip.com, w-h-a-t-i-s-m-y-i-p.com to find out.
