The IP address of your machine.

Click Start | Run and type command and press <enter>.

Then in the "dos box" that appears type "ipconfig" and read the line that says:

IP address. . . . . . . . . : ###.###.###.###

where each ### is a number between 0 and 255.

Or, if on a Win98/ME system click Start | Run and type winipcfg and press <enter>. Get the IP address from the window that pops up.

is there a different way to find it because when i do those they both give me an ip that i know is not the right one

Are you behind a router? As in your IP address is 192.168.xxx.xxx? If so, it gets more difficult.
