2019-02-08T04:43:08+00:00 You actually have two IP addresses: a public IP address and a private IP address.
Your public IP address - the one that Greg and Kapil correctly showed you - is actually the address of your modem. Your private IP address is the address of your computer.
Your public IP address comes from your internet service provider, and your private IP address comes from your router. Your router assigns private IP addresses to all the devices on your home network through a process called DHCP.
You can't find your computer's private IP address by searching for it on the internet. That wouldn't be very private, would it? 😄 You can only see it from a device that is connected to your home network.
There are several ways to do this and here's one: Sign in to your router's administration console. That's where you find all your router's settings. One of the very first screens will show you a list of all the devices that are connected to your network, and the IP address for each that was assigned by your router.
If you're interested to know why you need to have two IP addresses, just ask. It's part of a vital security feature called Network Address Translation (NAT.)
