How do I Find my Local IP Address?

Post by **fac51** » Sat Jan 17, 2004 6:15 pm

Need to find out my local IP addy so i can run Nmap to run a local port scan.

anyone know how to detect the local ip addy rather than the external one?

disconnect your net connection, then type ipconfig into a dos box

ed, from reading here , it appears that 127.0.0.1 should be your local IP

that doesnt work either as it's a loopback ip or something

cheers anyway mate

yeah sorry realised after i posted.

a lot of google links return the sourcecode for a little proggy that supposedly gets the local IP

yeah i found them to but thought there must be a simpler way

you'd think that if so many people are posting code of how to do it, someone would've actually made the program available!
