Windows 7: Find out your own IP address

If you need your own IP address, find it in Windows 7 with a simple command. We'll show you how it's done.

Find out your own IP address in the network under Windows 7

If you want to find out the IP address that the router automatically assigned to you, proceed as follows:

1. Click "Start" and look for "Run".
2. Enter the command "cmd" in the command line. Then the console opens.
3. Enter the command "ipconfig" in the console (without quotes). A list appears with all connections that your computer has. Search for the name of your router here (for example "fritz.box").
4. Under "IPv4 address" you will find the IP address at which your computer can be reached in the network.
5. If you are not sure which IP address is the right one, pay attention to the format of the address - usually in the manner of 192.168.xx.
