1. What is and how to find my Computer’s IP and MAC address?
IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using
the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The
format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by
periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 191.168.1.254 could be an IP
address. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware
number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address.) When you're
connected to the Internet from your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it),
a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC)
address on the LAN.
To find your PC’s IP and MAC address,
1. Open the DOS Command program in the Microsoft Windows.
