How do I figure out the IP address of my computer? How do I find the Mac address?

Like we did yesterday, we are going to first start by opening up a MS-DOS prompt. Refer to what we did below if you have forgotten.

This time, instead of changing directories to get to a specific one, we are going to be able to type a command from the pwd, or present working directory.

At the prompt, type this command;

ipconfig or ipconfig /all

The first command (ipconfig) will spit out the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Mask of your computer.

The second command (ipconfig /all) will spit out the DNS Server information, your Mac address, as well as a myriad of other information.

Pretty neat information either way, you should just try it out.
