From time to time, you may need to check your IP address in order to figure out a problem with your network or internet connection.

If you use Windows 7, there’s an easy way to figure it out.

First, open up a command prompt by pressing the Start menu, and then typing “cmd” in the “run” box. Then, press Enter.
