Each computer working on the network has its own unique ip-address. Due to the fact that no two computers with the same addresses can be on the network at the same time, IP becomes an important tool for identifying users.
Instructions
Step 1
The need to find out the ip-address of an Internet resource or a specific computer does not arise so often, usually in case of suspicion of fraud or when suspicious connections are detected on the computer. To determine the IP, no additional programs are required, all the necessary software is included in the operating system or on specialized services on the network.
Step 2
If you need to determine the ip-address of an Internet resource by its domain name, you can go in two ways. In the first case, it is enough to go to the service https://url-sub.ru/tools/web/hostip/, enter the name of the site and click the "Learn" button. In the line that appears, you will see the IP of the resource you are interested in.
Step 3
The second option involves using the ping command. For example, you want to find out the ip-address of Yandex. Open the console: "Start" - "All Programs" - "Accessories" - "Command Prompt". Type: ping www.yandex.ru and press Enter. In the first line that appears, in square brackets, you will see the Yandex ip-address.
Step 4
Sometimes it becomes necessary to check the sender's ip. To do this, go to your mail service, open the letter. Then look for more options on the page and look for the email header view feature. For example, in "Rambler" for this you need to open the "Other actions" menu and select the "Letter headers" item. In the header you can find out not only the ip-address from which the letter was sent, but also the correspondence of the real postal address to the declared one. There are services on the network that allow you to substitute any address in the sent letter.
Step 5
If you see that your computer is exhibiting strange network activity, you should check your current connections. Open a console and enter the command netstat –aon. A list of connections will appear, in the column "External address" the ip-addresses with which the connection is made will be indicated. You can find out who owns a particular address using one of the who-is services. For example, this:
