Where can I find my own IP address? If I use an email other than the one my
isp provides, can a person see my IP through that?

Is this the correct discussion group for this question?
Thank you.

Hi,

Try: http://www.myipaddress.com

If you do not have a static IP address, your IP will vary. Most home
users have dynamic IP's and you usually have to pay extra to get a
static IP.

Hope this helps.

"Where can I find my own IP address?"
Start | Run |
in the Run "Open" box type the following command, then press "Enter"
cmd
At the command prompt, type the following command, then press "Enter"
ipconfig /all
[note the space between "ipconfig" and "/all"
Below the section "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:"
First, find the line that states "IP Address....."
That is your *internal* IP Address -- all machines on your local
area network see that address
Second, below your IP Address line, find the line that states "DNS
Servers...."
That is your *external* IP Address -- all machines on the Internet
see that address

Generally speaking (e.g. ignoring malicious hackers),
*external* users can not see your *internal* address.

"Is this the correct discussion group for this question?"
No -- networking questions belong in one of the (several) dedicated
networking newsgroups.

Not an Office issue or feature. But Start, Run, CMD, then IPCONFIG /All
will tell you. Your IP address may or may not actually appear in the
Internet e-mail header. It depends on the ISP.
