Find Your IP Address in Windows Settings

Your Windows 10 PC’s IP address is your computer’s identity on the network to which it’s connected. There are times when you may need your IP address to use specific programs. Luckily, the process of finding your IP address on a Windows 10 PC is straightforward. Finding your IP address in your Windows 10 settings area depends on whether you’re using your Wi-Fi network interface or your ethernet interface to connect to your network.

Find Your IP Address Using the Command Prompt

You can also check the IP address your Windows 10 computer uses to connect to the current network using a simple ipconfig command using the command prompt tool.

Find Your External Internet IP Address

The methods above will show you your computer’s “local” IP address, meaning the IP address assigned to your computer by your router on your local home network. However, this isn’t the IP address you’re using when you’re on the internet. Your internet IP address is the one assigned to your router by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can obtain this “external” IP address in two ways, either by checking on your router or using a web service that can show you your internet IP address.
