Have you ever wondered what is the IP with which your computer connects to the Internet? Whether you asked yourself or not, today I will explain how know what your IP is And what is this for?
First of all, we are going to see some previous concepts.
Definition of IP
Actually when we talk about our IP what we are referring to is our IP address. This direction is made up of four groups of numbers between 0 and 255 that uniquely identify our computer on the Web.
What is the IP address for?
La IP address It is our identity card on the Internet. Every time we access any web page, we leave a small trace of our presence, our IP address, on the server that stores the page. In this way, if someone performs an incorrect action on a website, such as leaving insulting messages in the comments, it is possible to physically identify the computer from which the action was performed.
Well, you already know what an IP address is and what it is for and perhaps you think that this topic does not interest you at all, but the fact is that the IP address is used for many other things that perhaps you are interested in knowing. For example, if you play online with a friend on a private server, you will need to know your IP addresses to connect with each other. In addition, through the IP address it is also possible to know from which country a connection is made.
The latter is the real reason for this article. In the Zattoo post, Rocio, a friend of the blog, left a comment about the problems that a relative has to be able to use the program correctly. Zattoo allows you to view through the Internet the television channels of the geographical area from where the connection is made, that is, if you connect from Spain you will be able to see Spanish television channels and not others. And why don't you guess how Zattoo discovers where you are connecting from? Well, through your IP address. That's why I told Rocio to look at the IP address from your family member to see from where he was connecting, and the thing is that sometimes even if your computer is in Argentina, for example, that does not imply that your Internet provider does not connect you to the Network from outside your country, viewing through Zattoo the chains corresponding to another country that is not yours.
How to find out what my IP is?
You can look at your IP address from your computer by doing the following.
- Click on: «Start» >> «Control Panel» >> «Network and Internet connections» >> «Network connections» and a window like this will appear that will vary depending on whether you have a home network installed or if you are in an office.
- Right click on your connection and choose "Status". If you don't know which of the connections that appear on the screen is your Internet connection, better go to the second method.
- The "Connection Status of ..." window will appear. Click on the "Support" tab and you will be able to see your IP address.
If what you are looking for is how to know the IP of another person, you can follow these steps to find out someone's IP address.
And that's it; In this simple way you have been able to find out your IP in a matter of a minute and without having to bother you excessively. We hope the article has been helpful and share it with your friends and through social networks.
First of all I want to thank you for your invaluable help.
As for What is my IP? , you can also know:
Go to Start, run, cmd, accept, IP config, enter.
Greetings and fragrances again
Hello laredolin you are right, that is another method to know your IP, the only thing is that if someone wants to do it they have to bear in mind that when they are in the command window they must write ipconfig all the time and then they will get their ip. I am glad that the blog is useful and thank you for your collaboration. All the best.
Hello, but how can I find out the IP address of a computer that has sent me an email to my hotmail account?
A greeting
the letters on my computer are cloudy, the program I have is windows xp home edition, greeting you are the best.
Hello killer dog, I see that we were baptized in the same place 😉
One thing when you have a question that is NOT related to any of the articles, send me an email, the address is in the column on the left, ok? So send me an email and tell me if the problem has arisen suddenly or if it has been after installing something or they always looked cloudy. I wait for your mail!
Hello arl11 what you want to know is something that many people ask. The emails received carry certain information about the sender but among them is not the IP of the person who sent you the email. Actually if an IP address appears that is the one of the server that sends you the mail, let me explain, if you send me a hotmail mail I will get the IP address of the hotmail mail server but not yours, so I never have access to your ip by this method. I suppose that there will be "alternative" methods that allow us to obtain the IP of a hotmail contact, but I do not know them.
Greetings to you both.
Hello, how are you? My question is because I would like to know if there is any way to know from which place or country a person is connected. The only way that I can know if it is really that person that I believe is knowing from which country it is connected. If there is any way to find out please help me !!! hahaha I thank you for your attention and I hope you answer me! greetings
Hello chechi One of the fundamental characteristics of the Internet is to be able to maintain a certain control over the privacy of each one and thus tell or hide what each one wants. My statistics collect the IP address of everyone who comments on the page, but I only use them to know where they are from visiting and in case someone exceeds or insults. I do not know of any method to know the address from which they send me an email and I would not allow anything about it to be published on the page. You always have to respect the privacy of others. Now if they are bothering you, it is best to report it. Greetings.
How can you know the identity of a person who added me to the messenger who insults me, I have deleted it from my messenger so that it doesn't continue to bother me, but I would like to know his identity, is there any way? Thanks
Hello Eve I don't know of any method to find out who is behind a message in the messenger. In any case, your IP address is stored in the MSN servers and if you consider yourself offended you can report it. Anyway, if you've already deleted it, it would be best to forget the subject, right? Greetings.
Hello, how are you? What should I do to make my computer "shielded" against spying or hackers? What programs should I install? o What steps should I take to make my PC more secure? I appreciate your help, Greetings
Hello John shortly there will be quite a few articles related to the security of our computers. Keep visiting the blog and you will know what you need to "shield" the PC. Greetings.
What I want to know is how to find out the IP of a computer that sent me some files through messenger a long time ago, it is important, I only save the file in my received files because the computer has been stolen
Thank you
Hi Sonia, I don't really understand what your question is. You want to know the IP of a stolen computer using files that you keep on your computer, is that correct? And when did they send you those files before or after the theft?
I saw my IP the way you show us and it comes out differently from what I get when I use web pages, just like here .. It also gave me some information about my IP, it is not the same, why?
Your connection may go through a proxy that modifies the IP that is registered on the web, but for legal purposes in these proxies your IP is still saved and your trace is recorded.
What's up can someone tell me why my pc only goes to google and with the other pages. It gives me an error "403 is not authorized to see this page" so it gives me all only google I can enter and when searching for something it throws me all the results and when trying to enter one of the results it gives me that error! what ago ?? because they have told me that they can be the hot files because I enter using my cell phone. as a modem !!!!
regarding what they comment
I can tell you that with ipconfig it shows us the address of our host or computer that is not the same in all cases the IP address that communicates with the internet that is
If we are in an intranet, the IP address that the ipconfig shows us is the one assigned to us either by an administrator but it is the address with which we are identified within the network,
the address in which we connect to the internet is the link address, the address of our router that is giving us internet access
In most cases it can be a mode that does the function of a router and is the one that assigns us IP addresses to our machines in a dynamic way, but this does not imply that the address that we give is with which we connect to the internet I hope let it be clear
Esvin, the error that marks you is because the proxy server of your network has restricted all the pages, therefore it does not let you enter, to solve this you must inform your company that provides the service or the network administrator
Abraham thank you very much for your clarifications and for the information. Greetings.
Hello Vinagre Asesino, I found your article very interesting, but I have a question to see if you can give me a north:
Currently I manage the content of an electronic magazine (www.suiradio.com), within it, there are rotating banners, some in flash and others in jpg (the only way to keep the portal and the radio station online), and I have The owners asked that if it will be possible to adapt the campaigns according to the State from which the users connect, that is, the coverage they want to give the page is only in Mexico, but they want to customize the advertising according to the State or region user.
I saw in the image my IP, my internet provider, my country, state and city… I am only interested in knowing the state and / or the city in order to publish the personalized banners.
I thank you in advance for your attention.
SPY
Thank you men, you got me out of a doubt, and we don't know how I thank you for it, ^^
SPY of course it is possible, I suppose you know some programming, what you have to do is a list, in a database for example, in which you relate ranges of IP addresses with countries, and then capture from the server and before To load the page, the IP of the visitor to do so and after a query to the database, obtain the country of origin and show the corresponding advertising. Greetings.
hello murderer vinegar, I don't know if you could get me out of a doubt please… ..the question I have is the following: a week ago I hired the services of a systems engineering student to solve a problem for me. I solved the problem using msconfig, …… the question is that after I solved my problem, it began to explore my pc with commands that I didn't understand too much, but what I did see is my IP address and other codes.
I would like to know if that person extracted private information from my PC and is using it to make the operation of my PC defective. I ask you that question because said student gives wireless internet almost 200 meters around and maybe he does all that to borrow his internet services, since there are times when my pc is blocked and no program can be entered.
Please tell me if this person can enter my pc from another external pc and block it.
Hi David, look at the IP you should not worry because it changes automatically and pointing it one day nothing happens unless you have used it for an attack. It is impossible for me to know if it has installed something on your computer, if you do not trust it, ask someone you trust to format your computer and install everything again. Greetings.
First of all, I thank you for the clarification you gave me regarding the IP and I will follow the advice you gave me.
Thanks man.
How can I configure my hotmail so that the IP from where they sent me an email appears? Before I had it activated but now it appeared with the new live windows design and I can't find that option anywhere !!!
I work in an institution and I want to know if this email was sent to me from my institution because it has a fixed IP where all internet connections go.
thanks in advance ... Eri
Eri took note of your doubt.
Thank you Vinagre Asesino for taking note of my question, I have solved my problem and for those who have gone through the same thing, I will give you the solution: you must have the full version of the new windows live activated. While in the inbox, it is only a matter of right-clicking the mouse and selecting See source code and it will open the code of the page that contains your message, look for the part that says "Received: from XXXX" and the matter solved, thanks to the people who were interested in solving my question.
Thanks for the tip Eri, I will surely put it on the cover of the blog. Greetings.
How are you, I hope you can solve a question.
Apart from being able to know the IP of a joker when he leaves a comment on a blog, is it possible to know which MSN account was connected at that time on the joker's computer and what is the name of the user of that MSN?
Coc I don't think it's possible to know that.

Hello, um I have problems with my wireless internet, since first it marked me that I had the arpcache full, after several searches and attempts I have managed to empty and clean it, I already send and receive data, now the detail is in that my dns system It can not resolve IP addresses and key ports, so everything indicates that I have moved something, I hope someone has understood me and finds a prompt solution. Gracais
Let's see if someone can help you Andres, I have a wired network and I don't understand anything about Wi-Fi.
hello I wanted to know how I do so that my name remains in the IP of my site in myspace that I am going to open
I'm sorry Florence, you'll have to explain yourself better, I didn't understand you.
Hello friends, I want to know what or what form exists a program so that I can know who is connected to my wireless network.
thanks leo
Leo I'm sure there is a program like the one you are looking for, to see if someone gives clues. Greetings.
Someone sent me an insulting message, I want to know how I activate the ip, of my emails so that the message appears. Thank you. pikochi
Pikochi the IP changes dynamically, so that it will be useless to know the IP unless you make a complaint and by court order they access the registry of the server from which they sent you that email. The information is saved there even if the ip changes.
It is rather a question, is it possible that someone who knows you and your computer uses your ip address to see what is happening on your pc? it's a bit crazy but get me out of doubt please .. bye, greetings
Ani the IP address is changing dynamically, but if someone knows yours at a certain moment they can use it to attack your computer and steal private information. To try to avoid this use an antivirus and a firewall. Also keep them updated. Greetings.
Hello, I actually need a little help and I've been downloading some chapters of a series and I download it from megaupload, everything was fine, I was waiting for my 8 hours to download, I was in no rush to download until one day he told me the megaupload page that he had already downloaded something and I had to wait but I hadn't downloaded anything so I waited and it gave me another IP every time I was waiting. and then suddenly it changes my ip but with the ip that I stay it says that I have already downloaded a file or that I am downloading one and wait. I have gone to page to know my IP and I noticed that I get 2 different ones. I am confused, can you help me? I was not very confused? aa I forgot something in the tutorial you put in, the same country from which I connect does not come out, please help me
Hello !! I entered my hotmail account and he told me that I should enter my password and some security characters because someone had tried to enter my account.
Is there a way to know the IP of who made these attempts or who logged in before or after those failed attempts made to my account?
Thank you very much!
Pastel
It is not possible to know that IP unless it is by court order. Greetings Pastel.
Hello Vinagre Asesino, my question is the following: I have a wireless card that automatically searches for a signal and I was lucky to find two providers, one that could connect me without a password and the other that was blocked. I connected to the one that did not have a password, I had my IP and here is the matter: everything was great until a few weeks passed and I could not connect to the internet and this that I was connected but with a different IP to the one I started, but For this I found the key of the other provider (Through a hacker program) I connect and I happened to find that it was the same IP as when I started.
In conclusion, the first provider removes me from the network by changing my IP or some configuration to not be able to access the internet, and what I want to tell you is if I can change my IP myself to be able to connect since the previous IP is registered and can be until blocked.
Well right now I connect through the hacked network but I do not want to happen the same as with the previous provider.
Give me solutions please and hopefully it was explicit.
Greetings Killer Vinegar
Herbert it is not possible to change your IP at will, it is assigned by the provider every time you connect.
Vinagre Asesino thank you very much for being so kind and answering my question.
Greetings and merry christmas !!
Pastel
Merry Christmas.
Hi, I would laugh to know why this makes me very big and it scares me a little if I have a relationship with any person by chat or msn, I could know my phone number and the address of my house without giving me information because I am worried that Tomorrow this bass from micsa may be silly but for me it is important and it depends on the answer I know what to do thanks
@LILI don't worry that unless you give him the data nothing will happen. Only a very advanced hacker could guess your IP and insert a virus that steals information from your computer. If, for example, you had an invoice with your address on your computer, you could get it, but that would only be done by a high-level hacker and it's not easy.
As long as you do not give your data in the chat, nothing should happen, and if you do not have personal data on your computer you can rest easy.
FORGIVE FOR SEN STAMPED AND THANK YOU FOR TESTING ME SO SOON MY COMPUTER IS SHARED WITH MY HUSBAND AND A SON AND EACH ONE HAS THEIR MSN FROM MY MSN THEY CAN DO AND HURT OR ENTER OR PUT IN THEIR MSN VIRUSES OR THINGS IN THEIR FILES. WHY I WENT INTO A CHAT WITHOUT SAVER HOW THAT'S GOING I GAVE MY MSN AND A PERSON SAYS THAT HE SAVE ALL OF ME BY IP
Hello, I would like to know if when a person lives in a province and city and then moves to another province and different city and has the same computer ...
He still has the same IP that he had before moving to another province and city
Is it the same if you continue with the same operator even if it is in another province?
Is that through irc, a person put me DCC and showed me his IP and that IP comes out that it is from a province and city that is not the one that now says it is, but the one that was before moving according to that person and So my question is, I don't know if he's lying or not and he's still in the same place
The connection drops a lot.
THANK YOU
@LILI don't worry, run an antivirus and that's it and if you don't stay calm, format and don't go back into that chat.
@Susan when you turn off the computer, the IP usually changes, let alone when you change province. But the location programs are not 100% reliable, maybe it is in that province or not.
Dear vinegar, I have a blog, but in recent days they have left me comments with rude and very ugly images, of course I already deleted them, there is some software to know who sent me these messages, such as their (IP, Names, Address).
Greetings.
@Self which content manager do you use?
HELLO MEN ,, KE TAL? ¿,, I WILL ASK YOU IF THE IP NUMBER IS DIFFERENT WHEN ENTERING THE INTERNET ,, AND THE IP NUMBER KE COMES IN THE IPCONFIG MSDOS? ¿? ,, TALK BY PHONE KON MY INTERNET SERVER ,, AND IT SAYS TO ME KE I HAVE AN IP DINAMIKA ,, AND KE KAMBIA KADA KE AGAIN TO LOG IN ,, ESKE I ENTER THE ROOMS OF YAHOO ,, AND THERE IS A VATO KE ALWAYS CATCH ME ,, EVEN I AM BETWEEN KON DIFFERENT KUENTAS, , THEY SAY KE IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE MY IP ,, BUT THEN ,, NO KAMBIA SO KOMO TELLS ME MY INTERNET SERVER?
Jose the IP if it changes, the one who "catches you" will be through a cookie or something like that.
Hello Vinegar.
In line with the previous message I wanted to ask you something. I have a dynamic IP. I would like you to explain that to me about cookies. How can they know, when entering a page that you are the same terminal if your ip changes? Can that be avoided?
Miguel I have a pending article about cookies. You can avoid this by configuring your browser so that you do not accept them but you will have problems in many sites that force you to accept them. It is best if you run a program like spybot search and destroy to remove them from time to time.
hello vinegar ... look there is a person who has tried to harm me with threatening words to my email I would like to know how he could get my email address ... is this possible .... someone else sent me a screenshot file via msn and I have it saved… is there any way to know the ip of the file? and is there any way to know the ip of the person who is threatening me by msn and mail?
hi boy I just want to know if I can hide my ip so as not to be monitored by any controller
Well, I have no idea if it is possible to completely hide your ip.
Hello .. Well, I wanted to know if you can help me is that I need to know how to connect the internet from my modem to a computer that is between 50km or 0km away. And then to know what I need to bring this to kabo ???
Well thank you ix fa.
I would like to thank you.

HELLO. YOU RESPOND TO EVERYONE THAT THE IP ADDRESS OF SOMEONE WHO OFFENS US ON THE INTERNET CANNOT BE KNOWN. BE CLEAR WITH THE USERS OF YOUR PAGE AND SAY THAT SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BECAUSE I GAVE IT A SERIOUS PAGE AND WITH THIS I WILL START A QUESTION AGAINST THOSE RESPONSIBLE, GREETINGS
Soledad no one says that you cannot know, here it is only said that if they send you an email and you discover their IP, to know who is behind that IP address you will have to access data that is protected by law and that therefore you will need one court order, unless such privacy protection measures do not exist in the country concerned.
Hello vinegar, I would like to know how I can find out my IP address to give it to google analytics and to filter those visits to my blog, because otherwise it is giving me reports that are not true. The one I see on the computer is 192.168. and two more numbers, but it gives me the impression that that's how all the ones I've seen begin. Can you help me? Thanks a lot
There are always the mythical pages, I use http://www.ip-look.com that the ip comes out in a big way and it doesn't link anything.
Josée IPs change dynamically so it will not help you to filter visits, what you should look for is an option that leaves a cookie on your computer and does not record your visits.
A sour greeting.
How do I change my IP?

Hello, I would like to know what to do in this situation
A person in a chat threatens me that he is a computer technician and that he can easily know my IP and annoy me, for example by getting a virus etc.
