Hi Mylotters!
I just wanted to know:
1) How can I know the IP address of my computer?
2) If I have more than one computers in my home, would they all have the same IP address, because they are using the same internet connection through WIFI
Thanx for your help!

It is clearly obvious that your computer have same IP address and only proxy address are shown in your computer details it is better to tweak your router and there is where you will find your original IP. IP means internet provider and you only one Internet so that means you can't have more than Two IP even you have two computer's.

There is a lot of information here that is confusing. Let me see if I can give you a summation. When you have two or more computers connected to a router, hub, or switch... you have what is called a LAN (Local Area Network). In order for you computer to talk to other computers... or a router it must have a LAN ip address. The people telling you to do Start, Run, CMD, netstat -an are telling you how to get your LAN ip address. Now your Modem (Cable, DSL, or Sat) will have your Internet IP address. This is the address in which your modem uses to "talk" to the internet. Your router... takes all the jibber jabber from your computers... and acts as a bridge to get it out to the modem and then onto the net to the right places (web sites and such). This IP address can be obtained in a few ways... however some of the websites the others have listed here can be the most painless way of getting this internet IP address. hope this helps!

if you're using windows, just go to 'Start' -- 'Run' type in cmd. you will get a C prompt, and then type in 'IP Config'

Ok, if you want to find your ip address, it would be easier to use the ipconfig command in the command prompt like everyone else says. As for all of your compters having the same ip address, that wouldn't work out so well, unless they were on a LAN network, in which case they would. Wifi is a little different though, because with wifi you have your router which is connected to your modem that reaches out to the internet. Every router has it's own ip address so, when your computer connects to the router the computer is assigned the same ip as the router. The router then sends the information to the modem which transmits the internet signal back to the router and to your computer. The logic behind having the same ip as the router is the fact that when multiple computers connect to the same router, you only have one ip that the modem sees, this makes for a faster, smoother, more organized connection for all the computers on the network.

IP address of the computer can be known by whatismyip website and through command ipconfig or ifconfig in terminal.
IP address is unique for a computer.If more than one system use single connection.then we must employ subnetting concept to share net.

Try to go to whatismyip and you can get your ip address. And you can also open command prompt and type ipconfig to get your ip address.
