How to check your local IP address in Windows 8

If you need your IP address in Windows 8 you can easily retrieve it by using various online services or if you need the local IP you can use the command prompt.


 The second important IP is your local IP. If you don’t use a direct connection via modem and you have a router for your broadband connection (strongly recommended) then you have a local IP that differs from your external IP address.

1. To get the local IP address in Windows 8 you can open "RUN"
 2.  type "cmd" then clikc "OK"

3. Enter "ipconfig" and you should get your local IP address

  the ipv4 adress is your local ip adress

Important: Check the description to find your REAL internet adapter. The screenshot below shows the difference, there I looked up the IP address of a virtual host. You need to find something that looks like Realtek …
Check your motherboard manual if you don’t know what internet adapter your motherboard is using!
