How do you view your ip address on a laptop?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

• Answer #1

  Chances are that your laptop uses a private IP address that isn't routeable on the internet. There are ranges of IP addresses reserved for this purpose but most home networks use addresses in the range 192.168.?.?. Using the Windows ipconfig command will show you this; look for "IP Address" or "IPv4 Address" in the output.

  Private IP addresses are converted to routable "real" internet addresses through Network Address Translation or NAT. The easiest way to discover the IP address the worlds sees is to go to a website like knowmyip.com that mrs_jay mentioned.

  The reason for NAT is we would have long ago run out of IP addresses if every device with access to the internet had a unique IP address. When I first used the Internet there were far less than 1 million computers on it and there was no need for NAT. Now that there are many more computers with access to the internet plus phones, printers,, game consoles, refrigerators, etc. many devices have to share an IP address.
