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.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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?)

Oh. That was simple.
