you can just use the command prompt (cmd) in windows and type ipconfig.

Assuming you're on a Windows PC, at a command prompt, you can typically use either the "getmac" command or the "ipconfig /all" command to see the MAC address of every network interface you have installed on your machine.  Now if you want to know the MAC address of other devices on your network, such as your router, you can first ping the device and then look at your ARP table.  Suppose your router is 192.168.1.1, then give the command "ping 192.168.1.1" and then the command "arp -a" and you will see the MAC address of the device you just pinged.  Sometimes, you can pick up a whole bunch of devices at once by pinging the broadcast address, in the above example that would be 192.168.1.255, followed by the arp -a command.  Alternatively you can write a for loop to ping every device on your subnet in turn, and then use the arp -a command.  The command would be "FOR /L %X IN (1,1,254) DO PING 192.168.1.%X -n 1" followed by "arp -a".  The 1,1,254 is the start/step/stop numbers, so if you just want to ping devices from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 then you would use (100,1,254) for example.  There are also many free tools you can download and use, like the trial version of wspingpro.exe, to do network scans.

Just go to the command prompt (on windows XP just type CMD on the START > RUN) and type ping website.com . you will get the IP address. or You can go to dnsstuff.com which can do a whole lot of other things than just getting the IP address.

If you are using windows xp, then double-click on the connection icon in the system tray (with two computers), In the "*Connection_name* Status" window, in the details tab, see for client IP address and that will be your ip address.\n\nElse, you can also use http://www.ipaddressworld.com or http://www.whatismyip.com to determine your IP address

your computer has its very own ip address, through the ip address, people can find out, where you are from you internet connection, there is also some personal information, but dont worry, only the government is cappable of doing this, but beware of hackers!

Another way is to find out what the IP address of your computer is, then compare it to the number on whatismyip.com (I find this to be easier).  If you're using Windows XP, just double-click your Local Area Connection in Network Connections --  your computer's IP address is on the Support tab.

Once you have the IP address, you can search for it at 'whois' on the following site:

As already mentioned every computer uses an IP address and you can find out approximately where that computer is located (the name of the town or county or metropolitan area) easily. Past that you do have to goto the service provider, BUT its not a simply ask kinda thing unless you are law enforcement with a warrant. so if you're worried about some jerk telling you he knows where you are because of your IP address.. its very doubtful.
