If you're wondering what your IP address is, you can use our My IP Address Finder tool to find out. Simply enter your address into the search bar and hit enter. Your IP address will be displayed on the results page.
You can also use our My IP Address Tool to check your IP address against a database of known addresses. This can be useful for troubleshooting purposes or simply to see if your address has changed. Simply enter your address into the search bar and hit enter. If there is a match, it will be displayed on the results page.
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.
IP addresses are written and displayed in human-readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 in IPv4, and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 in IPv6. The size of the routing prefix of an address determines its scope. This is often measured in terms of the number of leading zero bits in the address, called the network mask or subnet mask.
For example, a route announcement with a prefix length of 16 bits (255.255.0.0 in IPv4) would be announced to all systems on the local network, while a route announcement with a prefix length of 24 bits (255.255.255.0 in IPv4) would be announced to all systems on the local network and any directly connected system with an IP address that matched the first 24 bits of the announcing system's address.
The use of subnetting increases the size of the routing table but allows more efficient use of address space by allowing multiple logical networks to exist within a single physical network.
IP addresses are classified into several classes based on their first octet. The most common classes are A, B, and C, which are each divided into subnets. Class D addresses are used for multicast addressing and Class E addresses are reserved for future use.
In IPv4, each address consists of four octets (8-bit bytes) and is typically written in decimal notation, such as 172.16.254.1. In IPv6, each address is 16 octets long and is usually written in hexadecimal notation with colon separators, such as 2001:db8::1234:0:567:8:1.
IP addresses are divided into two main parts: the network part and the host part. The network part identifies the network to which the device is attached, while the host part identifies the specific device on that network. For example, in the address 172.16.254.1, the network part is 172.16 and the host part is 16.254.1.
The host part of an address may be further divided into subnets, which are used to identify specific devices on a larger network. For example, in the address 172.16.254.1, the subnet is 16.254 and the host part is 1. This division of the host part into subnets is known as subnetting.
In some cases, an IP address may be assigned to more than one device, known as multihoming. In other cases, a single IP address may be assigned to multiple devices, known as anycasting.
IP addresses are assigned to devices by a variety of means, including manual configuration, DHCP, and Zero-Configuration Networking.
Manual configuration is the process of assigning an IP address to a device by entering the address into the device's software. This is often done during the initial setup of a device or when adding a new device to a network.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP is typically used in networks where devices are frequently added or removed, such as in home networks and small office/home office (SOHO) networks.
Zero-Configuration Networking (zeroconf) is a set of technologies that allows devices to automatically assign IP addresses and configure other network settings without the need for a DHCP server or manual configuration. Zeroconf is often used in ad-hoc networks, such as Wi-Fi Direct networks.
When an IP address is assigned to a device, it is usually assigned to the device's primary network interface. In some cases, an IP address may be assigned to a virtual network interface, such as a VPN tunnel interface.
IP addresses can be static or dynamic. A static IP address is one that is manually configured and remains unchanged over time. A dynamic IP address is one that is assigned by a DHCP server and may change over time, although it will typically remain the same for the duration of a DHCP lease.
IP addresses are usually assigned to devices by a network administrator. In some cases, IP addresses may be assigned automatically by a DHCP server.
The process of manually assigning an IP address to a device is known as static IP address assignment. The process of automatically assigning an IP address to a device is known as dynamic IP address assignment.
Static IP address assignment is the process of manually assigning an IP address to a device. This is often done during the initial setup of a device or when adding a new device to a network.
Dynamic IP address assignment is the process of automatically assigning an IP address to a device. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that automates the assignment of IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP is typically used in networks where devices are frequently added or removed, such as in home networks and small office/home office (SOHO) networks.
To find your IP address, you can use the My IP Address Finder tool. This tool will show you your IP address as well as provide information about your network and device.
Your IP address is a unique number that identifies your device on a network. It is usually assigned to your device by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Your IP address can be static or dynamic. A static IP address is one that is manually configured and remains unchanged over time. A dynamic IP address is one that is assigned by a DHCP server and may change over time, although it will typically remain the same for the duration of a DHCP lease.
A static IP address is one that is manually configured and remains unchanged over time. A dynamic IP address is one that is assigned by a DHCP server and may change over time, although it will typically remain the same for the duration of a DHCP lease.
To configure your IP address, you will need to access the settings for your network interface. This can be done through the control panel or settings menu of your operating system, or through the web interface of your router. Once you have accessed the settings for your network interface, you can enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information.
A subnet mask is a number that is used to identify which portion of an IP address represents the network and which portion represents the host. The subnet mask is usually written in dot-decimal notation, such as 255.255.255.0.
A gateway is a device that connects two networks and allows communication between them. Gateways typically use NAT (Network Address Translation) to allow devices on one network to communicate with devices on another network.
DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that allows humans to access websites and other resources using easy-to-remember names instead of IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com can be used to access the website at the IP address 93.184.216.119. DNS is usually provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
To find your DNS server, you can use the My IP Address Finder tool. This tool will show you your IP address as well as provide information about your network and device, including your DNS server.
