Checking IP Address of Your Computer In Windows XP
Sometimes you will need to know the IP address of the computer that you are using.
For example, when you
want to make sure that your computer is in the same network domain as that of your Access Point for you can
configure and access the AP.
When the command prompt window appears, type command “ipconfig /all” and press Enter.
This command will
display the IP addresses of all the network adapters in your computer.
In this case, the IP address of your network adapter is 192.168.0.23, which means your Access Point must
have an IP address of 192.168.0.xxx in order for you to be able to access it.
If the IP address is assigned by DHCP server on the network, there are chances you might have to release the
IP and acquire it from DHCP server again.
Here is how you do it.

Type command, “ipconfig /renew” in the command prompt window and press Enter.
This command releases
the current IP address and acquire it from the network, i.e. DHCP server, once more.
In this case, the IP address that we acquired is the same as previous one, 192.
168.0.23.
However, it’s often that the acquired IP address of the network adapter might would not be the same.
!
Note:
To renew IP under Windows 98 and Windows ME, you will have to go to the
Start
menu >
Run
> type
winipcfg
and click “
OK
”.
The Windows IP Configuration Menu window would appear, where you first click “re-
lease” button to release the current IP address, followed by clicking of “Renew” to acquire a new IP address
from network.
If the above methods for IP renew fail, you will have to try and restart the computer, which will reinitializes the
network adapter settings during startup including renewing IP address.
If you still have problems getting an IP
address after computer restarts, you will have to consult with your MIS in your office or call computer and net-
work technicians.
