Find your Computer's Internal IP

[LiNuX]

The internal IP of any computer is used to forward certain ports of some programs. I was configuring my server last night and I thought of writing this so others with the same problem can Find it easily. Just read the blog post in the link below if you are interested:

Find your Internal IP (http://www.oldpapers.info/computers/finding-internal-ip-in-windows/)

Please note: THIS IS FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY! I will put up another one later for Linux users, don't ask me about mac because I have no idea :radar:

what happens if it's like mine and changes a lot? I was told by an admin on another site I have a weird static IP.

it happens sometimes but nothing really happens - and the other admin is wrong - static means it's still - if it changes a lot you have a dynamic IP - usually internal IPs doesn't change if its with the same router or network - i've used this computer through maybe 5 ISPs over the past years and internal was always same

also don't confuse external with internal ip - they are different - external is bound to change a lot - if you want to set a static internal IP you have to follow other steps

instead of the command "ipconfig" you can do "ipconfig/all" and get more stats and info

internal IP's are LAN ip's used to forward data being sent to your network on certain ports to your specific LAN IP, if your EXTERNAL IP is changing that means that it's DYNAMIC and not STATIC.
