A quick way to view your IP address is by using the command IPCONFIG.

Just start a command prompt:

Start -> Run -> Cmd

and then type:

IPCONFIG /ALL

In case of you want to change you IP (works only when you are running DHCP) – you can do i by using a release in combination with a renew.

IPCONFIG /RELEASE

IPCONFIG /RENEW
