FInding your IP address
Hello,
Please help an old man:
I remember using a couple of commands in the command prompt years ago to find your IP address, pre-XP.
How can I find out my IP address with XP? Is there more than one way easily available?

Open a command prompt. To see a list of all the various IP Config commands type ipconfig /? (noting the space between the "g" and the "forward slash") and press "Enter".
Generally speaking, the commands ipconfig and ipconfig /all will be all you need.
EDIT: Sorry, Steve...you must be closer to the servers.

The above two are good if you are behind a router but if you want to know your true address, go to:

Micheal is right, although for the tidy little sum of about $15 (US) annually, you can subscribe to www.no-ip.com and let this program run in the background. It will verify your external IP Address and kepp it updated with a DNS server they have. So that means I can run a Windows Small Business server and not have to worry about getting a static IP Address.
