To find out your PCs IP address, or to identify your ethernet cards MAC address, please follow the steps outlined below..

I’m using Windows NT/2000/XP
I’m using Windows 95/98/98SE/ME

Windows NT/2000/XP

  1. Click the Start button, and select Run. In the space provided, enter cmd and click OK.
  2. At the command line, enter ipconfig /all. Your MAC address will be displayed as the Physical Address and your IP address will be displayed as the IP Address (see screenshot below).

Windows 95/98/98SE/ME
