Whenever you go online, your computer is assigned an IP address. IP address is the Internet Protocol (IP) address given to every computer connected to the Internet. An IP address is needed to send information much like a street address or P.O. box is needed to receive regular mail. Here is an example of an IP address : 99.169.584.984. Here is how to quickly find out your IP address.
Steps
- Go to My Global IP website.
- Your global IP address will be immediately shown on the home page.
- IMPORTANT: If you are behind a web proxy, the IP address shown on the home page may not be your actual IP! So, one more step. Visit the site using an alternate port to attempt to bypass your web proxy by following this link: http://www.myglobalip.com:4280/ and your true IP address will be shown.
- That's it!!! You are done!
