[Airmack]

How can you find your ip for my pc on win xp home? All it shows is my routers ip.

I want to ping my self because I think im losing packets some where.

You might try the following information that I picked up doing a google search.

to check IP address: go to Start | Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt. OR go to Start | Run and type cmd in the box. At the command prompt, type: ipconfig /all and you should receive a display listing all pertinent ip address information in a display that is similar to the following:

Also, the command ipconfig /renew performs the operations similar to Release/Renew that were used in previous versions of windows through the winipcfg appliction accessed from the MS-DOS Prompt program.

For the full answer you have to go to Harvard .

ipconfig at the command prompt should do it for you. I actually havn't found a way from my PC, except using tracert to find the IP of my WAN port of my router. I assume U are using DHCP from your router to your PC's, all you should need is to do an ipconfig or ipconfig /all if you want a little more info. If you are experiencing packet loss is is doubtful that it is between your router and the PC's though, and I think to actually ping yourself you need to do a loopback to yourself with a loopback plug in your NIC. I pinged myself but a loopback plug will isolate your PC back to itself.

ipconfig will just show you the IP that was assigned by your router. Do you suspect packet loss between your router and your PC? You will have to log into your router using the configuration utility as outlined in the router manual to get your ISP assigned IP.

The IP address of the Router is your external IP. When you are behind a router for all intensive purposes for the internet, that is your IP.

More than likely your computer will have whats known as an internal IP. Now it depends on what brand of router you have, but most popular routers ie Linksys, D-Link, etc. will assign internal IP's in the range of 192.168.1.XXX, where the XXX can be anywhere from 1-253 IP's.

it can get complicated, but more than likely your IP will be one of the 192.168 numbers.

if you run a Win9x system, from the run line. type

winipcfg, and then choose your network card from the drop down box

if you are on 2k, or XP.
then from the run line, type "command" to get a dos prompt.
the type
ipconfig /all

this will give you all sort of info. for your IP, it will be found, usually, under the Local Area connection:
