This section will show you how to find out
your IP address for your current connection.
When you connect to Virgin Media your computer is given an
IP address. This is used to identify your computer on the Internet. Your IP
address helps your computer communicate with the rest of the world, retrieve
mail and view web pages.
Below are instructions on how to find your IP address while
connected to the Internet.
Windows 95,98, ME:
- Click once on the 'Start' menu, using
the left hand mouse button and then
click on 'Run...'.
- Type winipcfg.exe and click on the
'OK' button.

Configuration' window.
- Make
sure you have the 'PPP Adapter.' selected in the list.

Windows NT, 2000, XP:
- Click on the 'Start' menu, and then
click on 'Run...'.
- Now type cmd and click on the 'OK'

address.
- If not you can type ipconfig /all and press
the enter key.

- The format of the IP address is always
numbers separated by dots. In the example above the IP address is
