When solving Internet problems, it’s often necessary to know your own IP address. TECHBOOK explains where to find it on your Windows 10 computer.
Service personnel often need to know the IP address over the phone to assist those seeking help. There are two types of IP addresses: the public address and the local address. The public IP address is visible on the Internet and can be found relatively easily through sites such as WhatIsMyIP. The local IP address is limited to your home network and can be viewed through network settings. We show you how to quickly and easily find your local IP address on your Windows 10 computer. Three methods can help you:
