October 23, 200718 yr Hi Is it possible to find out a computers IP address without having an internet connection. I'm trying to validate my ID with hotmail as my account has been compromised and this is one of the questions they are asking. I've tried looking on my PC for it but have had no luck. My adsl is down at home so I can't check the web for it Thanks for your help
October 23, 200718 yr You need an internet connection to have an IP address. If you aren't behind a router you can get it by going to Run and typing Command, then at the prompt type /ipconfig If you are behind a router this will only give you an internal IP address (begins with 192), not the one that others on the internet see. For that you need to look in your router, or go to a site like http://www.bobborst.com/tools/whatsmyip/
October 23, 200718 yr Author Hi Thanks for your relpy. Just tried what you said and I get the message; '/ipconfig' is not recognized as an inernal or external command, operable program or batch file. I have a zyxel adsl modem, will also check out the site you mentioned
October 23, 200718 yr Author Same message as before. I will try and wait to see if my adsl is back on tomorrow. Thanks again
