Quick overview:
Each computer on the Internet or network is assigned a unique number for identification: The IP address, which consists of several numbers separated by dots. For games or other Internet applications, you often need the number of your own computer, which you can query in this way:
Win 98 - Find IP address
1. In the Start menu, click on Programs and select MS-DOS command prompt.
2. Now type the command ipconfig /all and confirm with Enter. Your number will be displayed directly after IP address.
NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
