How Do I Find My PC's IP Address?
Follow these steps for Windows XP:
- Click the Start button, select Run
- Type CMD and press Enter.
- A Command prompt window will open. Type ipconfig and press Enter.
- Several lines of information will be displayed. The IP address looks like "149.72.61.234" - yours will probably have different numbers near the end.
If you cannot obtain the IP address, you can try to "renew" it:
- Click the Start button, select Run
- Type CMD and press Enter.
- A Command prompt window will open. Type ipconfig /release and press Enter. (Note: there IS a space between ipconfig and /release)
- Wait for the command to finish.
- Type ipconfig /renew (Note: there is a space between ipconfig and /renew)
- Wait about 1 minute. If successful, your IP will display and look like "149.72.61.234".
- Type Exit to close the CMD window.
If you get an error, the cause might be:
- You do not have a network connection.
- Your PC may not be configured to get its IP Address and DNS information from our DHCP server.
- In the Residences, you may not yet be authorized to access the network. You must wait at least 1 day after registering your PC at http://dormlord.dowling.edu before trying to connect.
