What is the IP number of your Computer?
It is sometimes useful to know what the IP number of your computer
is. This document discusses ways of determining the IP number of
a computer.
Tip : Your computer may
have more than one IP number. That's because the IP number is
not related to your machine. Rather it is related to the Network
Card on the machine. And don't forget that in these days of
Dial-Up-Networking, a modem can function as a network card.
So if you have more than 1 network card in the machine, or a
Dial-Up modem attached, then your computer will have more than
one IP address.
