What can I do to find my IP address?

Click Start/Run then Enter CMD and click ok.

When the blank screen with the prompt comes up, type in IPCONFIG
and press Enter

Which, if you are behind a router/NAT device, will not likely help
you.

You are a Microsoft expert, please explain..............thanks,

You are using America Online.

If you are dial-up.. (are you?) your IP is likely to change for EVERY
connection you make. It will not be consistent between connections.

If you are not dial-up - it is still possible for your IP to change - with a
rate determined by your ISP and/or how often and for how long you turn off
your machine.
