What is my IP address?

Question:

What is my IP address?

Answer:

We suggest using our free system Information utility for determining what your IP address is while on the Internet. When viewing your IP address remember the following.

• If you're on a home network or behind a router your local IP address will be different then the one shown online. To determine your local network IP address see document CH000483.
• If you're connecting to the Internet with a Modem (dial-up), your IP address will almost always be different each time you connect to the Internet.
• Although many broadband Internet service providers give a static IP address to their users, the IP address can still change.

Additional information:

• See our IP dictionary definition for additional information and related links.
• See document CH000784 for additional information about changing your IP address.
• Information about determining your printer IP address can be found on document CH001170.
