Toa Tahu Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 I can't find my IP on Windows,and you know what that means...i can't go multiplayer.(The wise) Yoda doesn't have the answer to my question,that is:how do I find my IP on Win XP? Can anyone help me,digl?Slowbie_One?Super Moderators?
OnlyOneCanoli Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 I never bothered looking for it in Win2k. I assume that, like Win2k, XP doesn't have 'winipcfg'. What I do is just log onto my AIM account, right click in the text box when I message someone, go to insert, and select IP address. But if you don't have AIM, I don't know. But there has to be a way. And anyway, you can still join mp games, right?
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 yes ....but shall i suggest to get rid of xp right away and move to 2k or back to 98
TornSoul Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 In Windows 2k it is 'ipconfig'. I don't know if it's the same in XP though.
OnlyOneCanoli Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 Interesting. I put 'ipconfig' in the run box, and a small black box (I'm assuming the needed info is in there) popped up on the screen for about a quarter of a second and then dissapeared. Damn these computers. Damn them all!
TornSoul Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 It's a command line program. When you start it up it will start the command line, but when the program ends (which is right after it put the information on the screen) it shuts down the command line. Try running 'cmd' (don't know if that works in XP) and then type 'ipconfig'
KordKelly Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 yes it does, Seryl. One hint, the concepts and navigation of XP is almost identical to 2000. It even tells you that in the practice exams for the MCP(Microsoft Certified Professional) exam for XP. Just thought you'd like to know...
StarScrap Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 I may be mistaken, but don't most multiplayer games tell you your IP when you host an IP game? I usually use the ingame servers or zone.com, so I don't know for sure, but in my experience that has always been the case.
bsbuckeye21 Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 If you're cursed like me and have to dial up, just right click on the 2 computers icon in the system tray, select status, click the details tab and it'll be at the bottom of the list.

I could have helped you, but I was off all day like someone said run (Windows key+ R to do it quickly ), then type cmd, and type ipconfig note that you can copy it from there! (like Linux ) use the 2nd mouse button for that
