how to get my internal IP

[Ragefreak16]

do any of you know how i can find out my internal IP?
ive looked and cant really seem to find a way

[Kaneda]

what os? and im assuming you have a router, that is masking your i.p.?

[Ragefreak16]

yes, im using windows XP pro

[Kaneda]

sorry man, dont know anything about XP

try going to your command prompt by start --> run --> CMD hit enter then type ipconfig

[Kaneda]

wait no, that wont show it. but you can try.

[Ragefreak16]

lol i know..it shows the regular ip address:(

[Kaneda]

this is dumb, but when i connect to IRC it shows my True IP

[Ragefreak16]

when i connected to IRC..the IP looked the same as my regular IP.

maybe i should have said my cable modem's IP..i dont know if internal and cable modem IP are different

[Kaneda]

same i believe but i was thinking the cable modem anyways

Internal ip is the ip address used by your computer on your network.

External ip is the one that is assigned to you by your ISP.

IF you have 1 computer connected directly to the cable modem the ip address will be the same, but if you have a router (gateway router or pc as router) between the cable modem and your computer they will be different.

In my situation, I do have a router and an internal network: my router gets the external ip from the cable modem and uses my internal ips to send packets to the requesting pc.

Hope that helps.

Here is something that you can do. Just take and copy and past into notepad and give each a name with a .bat extension and then click on it.
statr your copy with the @ECHO OFF and end at @exit



name this one: netstat.bat

@ECHO OFF
%systemroot%\system32\netstat -a -e -n -r -s >netstat.txt
netstat.txt
cls
@exit

name this one: ipconfig.bat

@ECHO OFF
%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig /all >ipconfig.txt
ipconfig.txt
cls
@exit


name this one: ports.bat

@ECHO OFF
%systemroot%\system32\netstat -a -n >netstat.txt
netstat.txt
cls
@exit

I have it set so that I have the little network icon in my system tray when I'm connected. I double click on this, then hit the.. um.. well, the 2nd tab :p It shows me the IP that that connection is assigned (as in the network card).

You can take the long way & find the same connection, but I'm at work and can't remember :rolleyes:

[turd]

yea you can also just type those commands into your command prompt

just type: cmd
into your run box
then: ipconfig /all
