How to Find My IP Address on Windows
Finding a computer's IP address
Finding a computer's IP address is relatively easy under Windows. If you are lazy, and do not want to use command-prompt to get this information, you can use an online service that will tell you your IP address. To determine your computer's IP over the Internet, you can use this link.
Those with more savvy, can find the computer's IP address using a special Windows command that can be invoked at the command-prompt.
