If you're connected to a router,

it should tell you somewhere at 192.168.1.1 (or similar).
If you use a modem, ipconfig at the command prompt should tell you, I think.

according to Ipchicken (or whatever the website was) its 69.7.... something or other... i know the 192.16... etc is what its set up as...
where do i find what others see my ip as?

It's the 69 (pfft) one.

The 192 one is your address on your local network.

yes.... but the internet displays that...
I want to see if my ipblocker is working ffs
how do i compare what the internet sees to what i see*?
*what i should be able to see compared to the internet

you can't mask your IP like that.

if IP chicken sees your actual IP then that's what all the internet sees. And with that I have to bow out because I'm post wasting.

IP chicken is wrong

you're not listening

if you have an IP address, you ARE online

/networking pedant

seriously, if you mean, you do not want to fire up a web browser and go to ipchicken.com/ , your only other option is to do a 'tracert , and your IP will be the first IANA assigned non-private IP that you see

...yes but I want to check if my ipblocker (part of my firewall) is working correctly
edit : you mean type tracert -j in cmd prompt?

(

SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Thu 21 May 2009, 23:52, archived)

or he could

just type "cmd /k ipconfig" in the run box.

edit:// look for your local area connection ( control panel /network ) and check out the properties - details for your current connection ( I can't show you on mine because I'm on Windows 7 and IPv6 and it's all very different.

...that didn't work

that brought up the router IP 192.168... not my IP address
edit : that displays the 192.168 rubbish...

(

ipchicken shows your 'real' internet address....

basically (in most cases) that will be the IP address that the WAN port of your firewall/router device was given by the DSL or CableModem.

In order to check if that is secure, you can go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 .

ip chicken is wrong because of the IPblocker... isn't anyone listening?

i've checked it before.... but i can't remember the command that displays it on your pc

(

SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Thu 21 May 2009, 23:59, archived)

i'm stumped

maybe www.ipblocker.info/ but I'm not sure.

(

PedroHin Come along & ride on a Flantastic Voyage, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:02, archived)

....its not part of that

oh geesh
it used to something winipcfg.exe what is the modern equivalent?

(

SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:05, archived)

it's cmd /k ipconfig

that is the modern equivalent of winipcfg

i am truley sorry :( i just don't know.

(

PedroHin Come along & ride on a Flantastic Voyage, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:10, archived)

winipcfg.exe used to display the IP that the world could see

now it just displays my router settings... great
thanks anyways :) - stupid bloody microsoft arsebiscuits!
i'll just turn the firewall off and do it that way *sigh*

(

SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:12, archived)

true,

back when we were all on dialup, the winipcfg IP address was it.
In my former helpdesk slave life, my next question would be...
'what are you trying to do?'

(

PedroHin Come along & ride on a Flantastic Voyage, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:18, archived)

what am i trying to do?
I am trying to find out if my IPblockerthingymgig is working as they claim it is!
edit : sorry that didn't sound right without italics

Don't get angry because no one has a clue what you're doing.

(

Ttssattsr, Fri 22 May 2009, 0:13, archived)

i know what im doing

its windows xp that doesn't know what its doing!
98 and ME used to have winipcfg.exe which displayed the IP that the internet used to see
ipconfig.exe does not have this function
This has been discussed above and has now been resolved
Thank you for your input
