IPaddressnow.com is a web site that automatically detects and displays your computer's IP address. This can be helpful for configuring a computer on a network, setting up communications software, or troubleshooting an Internet connection. Your Internet Service Provider or IT help desk may ask you to visit this site when you're having problems with your Internet connection.
What is an IP address?
Just as telephones are identified by unique telephone numbers, computers on the Internet are identified by unique series of numbers called "IP addresses". Each IP address consists of four numbers separated by three periods; for example, "192.168.1.1". Whenever your computer talks to another computer on the Internet -- such as when you visit a web site -- the name of the other computer must be converted into an IP address before communication can take place. (Incidentally, "IP" stands for "Internet Protocol".)
Where do I get an IP address?
Most computers automatically get their IP addresses from the network; that is, they are "dynamically assigned" by an Internet Service Provider or IT department. The technologies that make this possible are "DHCP" ("Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol") and "PPP" ("Point to Point Protocol"). Fortunately, most modern operating systems handle DHCP and PPP without much effort on the part of the user.
The only disadvantage of a dynamically-assigned IP address is that it can change each time you connect to the Internet. (This can also be viewed as an advantage, of course, as it makes it more difficult for hackers to track you down.) If you are using software that requires you to know your IP address, you may wish to visit IPaddressnow.com whenever you reconnect to the Internet.
If you have a continuous connection to the Internet, your Internet Service Provider may assign you a "static IP address". A static IP address identifies your computer on the Internet using the same address as long as you remain with the same ISP.
