How to find your IP address

If you want to find the IP address of your computer here are a couple of simple ways to do it in Windows. 

The easiest way is to open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and use one of the many sites that can display your computer's IP, such as www.whatsmyip.org, www.whatismyip.com or www.whatsmyip.net.  Google will also display your IP if you enter "what's my ip" in the search box, your IP will be shown at the top of the first results page.

Alternatively, click the Windows "start" button and type "cmd", without quotes, in the search box.
