How do I find IP address?

To find your IP address, you can follow these steps based on common operating systems:

Windows:

Step 1: Open the Command Prompt: Press the Windows key + R, type "cmd," and press Enter.

Step 2: In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig" and press Enter.

Step 3: Look for the "IPv4 Address" under the network adapter you are currently using. It should display your IP address.

macOS:

Step 1: Open the Terminal: Go to Finder, navigate to Applications > Utilities, and open Terminal.

Step 2: In the Terminal window, type "ifconfig" and press Enter.

Step 3: Look for the "inet" or "inet addr" value next to "en0" or "en1" (usually labeled as "inet" or "inet6"). It should display your IP address.

Linux:

Step 1: Open the Terminal: You can usually find it in your applications menu or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

Step 2: In the Terminal window, type "ifconfig" or "ip addr show" and press Enter.

Step 3: Look for the "inet" or "inet addr" value next to your network interface (such as eth0 or wlan0). It should display your IP address.

Keep in mind that if you're behind a router or using a network with Network Address Translation (NAT), the IP address you find will be the internal IP address assigned to your device on the local network. If you need to find your public IP address, you can use websites like "https://www.whatismyip.com" that display your public IP address.
