Finding out own external IP in Win2000

[Exiler]

You know in Windows 98SE you can find out your own IP (Your internet IP) by typing in RUN winipcfg.

However I dont seems to have the option to use that in Windows 2000 Pro.

Does anyone know of if say winXP has something like that or something? (Cause you know you can use WinXP's msconfig in Windows 2000).

Or any progs to find out faster than using the old, click on your DSL connection and see the IP thru there. I want to use a RUN command to find out IP.

I know there is a command I think for finding out IP in Command Prompt, but thats too much work. :D

ipconfig. Use the /all to see all your network connections.

Create a batch file. (text document, then save with extension .bat) Then edit it and add the following lines:

ipconfig /all
pause

Save changes and place it where convenient. The pause allows you to see the information prior to the window closing.

is another option. (There are other sites).

That will tell you your external IP address, in the case you are behind NAT.

A lot of times you can simply browse to the IP address of your gateway using Internet Explorer and that will allow you access to the configuration of your router, which usually reveals your public IP address for NAT.

even that isnt always your public IP. That could just be the IP that your isp assigned to you, and you have another IP that the rest of the world actually sees.
