How do I determine my IP address?

Last updated: May 01, 2012

Sometimes you will need to determine the IP address your are using to access the internet.

 

This can help tech support trouble shoot connectivity issues or grant access to services from only a specific location.

 

A simple way to determine your IP is with the Web Service:

http://www.whatismyip.com

 

Another way would be using traceroute on the command line. The first public IP in the results is your IP.
