Chapter 4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
4.1
What and how to find my PC’s IP and MAC address?
IP address is the identifier for a computer or device
on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol
route messages based on the IP address of the destination.
The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address
written as four numbers separated by periods. Each
number can be zero to 255. For example, 191.168.1.254
could be an IP address.
The MAC (Media Access Control) address is your
computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet
LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address.) When you're
connected to the Internet from your computer (or host as
the Internet protocol thinks of it), a correspondence table
relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC)
address on the LAN.
To find your PC’s IP and MAC address,
Open the Command program in the
Microsoft Windows.
Type in
ipconfig /all
then press the
Enter
button.
