How to Get IP Address Using Ipconfig in CMD

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to use ipconfig command in Windows 10 to get the IP address. The following instructions explain how to find your IP address in Windows. These instructions will also help you find your MAC (hardware) address, DHCP server, DNS server, and other useful information. They may also help you resolve a bad connection.

Click the Windows key, type CMD, then press Enter.
 

 

In CMD, type ipconfig. Then press Enter. You will find your IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If your IP address is 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x, you are receiving an internal IP address from a router or other device. The IP address that the world sees is the router’s IP address. If you receive an address of 169.254.x.x, this is a Windows address which usually means that your network connection is not working properly.
 

 

Example 1: ipconfig

 
If you want more detailed information about your network connection, type ipconfig /all in CMD. Here you can get the same information as ipconfig plus your MAC (hardware) address, DNS and DHCP server addresses, etc.
