Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
YouTube has the video (just do a search for "Weird Al"+nerdy). Seth is in the video when he talks about his action figures being cherry. He's the dude in the background who slaps his own arse.
eta: I missed it the first time but Weird Al also does a very quick parody of the "Star Wars Kid"! :)
How do I find out what the IP address is of the computer I am sitting at? It is a static IP. It is a Windell.
There he is. Cool
run ipconfig
You need to run it from a command prompt, if you just use the 'Run' from the menu it will just flash a command window at you.
DX comes through with the better directions.
Go to Start/Run, and type CMD and hit [Enter].
This opens a command box (looks like DOS).
Type IPCONFIG next to the prompt, and hit [Enter].
Gud, I tried running ipconfig from the run box, and it closed the window before I could read it.
DMX comes through with the "For Dummies" directions! Which I needed. Boy do I not miss DOS. Thanks you guys!
Yeah, when I typed 'run ipconfig' I was thinking from the command line not from the Run menu item. I'm so used to always having a command window open I forget that people use the 'run' menu item.
run ipconfig
Maybe it should be noted that this only works on Windows. In the Unix/Linux/OS X world, ipconfig works differently - it expects to be passed a paramater. (Anyone know how to get it to work like the Windows version?)
run ifconfig
