Windows 7 Network Address

hi there, some of you have finally upgraded your windows xp or windows vista to the all new windows 7. and some of your are wondering, where can i find my local area connection to get my ip address. well, here's are a simple guide on how you could obtain your ip address.

there are 2 way's to find your computer ip address and the steps are not so different from both previous Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Method 1:
Locate "Network" icon. it should be at the bottom right of screen. near the "Time and Date". It should look like this. click the network icon and click "Open Network and sharing center"

click the network icon and click "Open Network and sharing center". you can also access this page through "start>control panel>network and sharing center"

Click open "Change adapter settings". in there you will see your "Local Area Connection". in my case, i have an extra network because i'm using a network card.

Double click on your active network card and it will display your connection status. Click on "Details" and you should be able to see your ip address.

The ip address varies on how you configure your router to assign DHCP to your devices. as in my case, i set my router to assign DHCP ip range start from 192.168.3.??. Do take note that different setting will result to different ip as well as different gateway, which is your modem ip address.

Method 2

method 2 is much more simpler way. all you need is to type a few command using the command prompt and you can get your ip address. To open command prompt, you need to:

1. Start -> run -> type "cmd" -> ok

2. Start -> all programs -> accessories -> command prompt.

A black dos window will pop open and all you need to do is to type "ipconfig /all" without the quotes and press "enter". and viola, you have your ip address.

And there you have it. 2 simple method to get your ip address for windows 7.
