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!
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
Oh. That was simple.
Or, if you use GNOME, you can use Giplet.
It will display your internal (not localhost, the ethernet interface) or the external ip address on the GNOME panel.
